Southern Sky Survey
A photographic survey of the sky south of declination -17°, carried out jointly by the 1.2-meter United Kingdom Schmidt Telescope at Siding Spring and the European Southern Observatory's 1-m Schmidt camera. Both these instruments have the same focal length as the 1.2-m Oschin Schmidt, which produced the northern-hemisphere Palomar Observatory Sky Survey, so the scale of the plates in each survey is identical.
