Schmidt telescopes are ideal for many types of survey work, and this includes surveying the solar system. Schmidt cameras have the advantages of speed and wide fields for rapid coverage of large areas of the sky, and good image quality over the entire field. The small focal ratios also have the effect of enhancing low surface-brightness features. This is an advantage for studying cornetary tails and comae.Current work in the field of small solar system objects can be divided into three different areas: searching for new objects, recovering lost objects, and astrornetry of known objects. Each of these areas requires its own techniques.
