130 GTX with QTCC used in sky survey

Hi fellow Astronuts,

Some of you may know about this sky survey that was started by David Mittleman, Sean Walker and Dennis Di Cicco. They are using two of our 130GTX scopes with Quad TCC operating at F4.5. The camera is the medium format FLI 16803 CCD, for which the QTCC was originally designed. The goal of this project is to map the entire sky in H-alpha for scientific purposes.
