Catalina & Mt Lemmon

Rik Hill provides the following information: The Catalina Sky Survey consisted of 3 separate surveys that work together under one umbrella. The original survey was the namesake, Catalina Sky Survey on Mt. Bigelow, consisting of a 27/30-inch schmidt telescope with a 4K (10K by 2020) cooled CCD camera. About five miles to the west is Mt. Lemmon with the 60-inch telescope with the same camera that is the Mt. Lemmon Survey. In Australia at Siding Springs was, appropriately enough, the Siding Springs Survey using the 0.5m Uppsula Schmidt, though this has now been closed. The two Arizona observatories are staffed by Director, Steve Larson, Brian Africano, Ed Beshore, Andrea Boattini, Eric Christensen (soon to work at Gemini in Chile), D Carson Fuls, Alex Gibbs, Al Grauer, Hannes Groeller, Rik Hill, Jess Johnson, Richard Kowalski, Greg Leonard, Rose Matheny, Teddy Pruyne, David Rankin, Rob Seaman, Frank Shelly and Kacper Wierzchos. The Australian staff consisted of Rob McNaught, Gordon Garraad and Donna Burton. They also use the 2.25 m Bok reflector at Kitt Peak.
