Description: The Schmidt Telescope at the former Brorfelde Observatory is now used by amateur astronomers. The telescope from 1966 is still located in the same building in Brorfelde as originally. Today the telescope has a 77 cm mirror and a digital 2048x2048 pixel CCD-camera. Originally photographic film was used, and in the lower right part an engineer is showing the former film-box, which was then placed behind the locker at the center of the telescope (at the prime focus).
