9680 Molina (3557 P-L) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on October 22, 1960, by C.J. van Houten and I. van Houten-Groenefeld on plates taken by T. Gehrels with the Schmidt telescope at Palomar Observatory.
The Schmidt telescope was moved to Calar Alto in 1976 from the Hamburg Observatory at Bergedorf, where it had been completed in 1954.
Through the work of professor Åke Wallenquist and professor Gunnar Malmquist at the observatory in Uppsala, the new observatory was fitted out with a large Schmidt telescope (100/135/300cm) in 1963.
He is a member of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) team, an all-sky survey using the UK's 1.2m Schmidt telescope in Australia, as well as working with the planned GAIA mission.
CSS utilizes three telescopes, a 1.5 meter (60 inch) f/2 telescope on the peak of Mt. Lemmon, a 68 cm (27 inch) f/ 1.7 Schmidt telescope near Mt. Bigelow (both in the Tucson, AZ area) and a 0.5 meter (20 inch) f/3 Uppsala Schmidt telescope at Siding Spring Observatory in Australia.
On October 10, 1986, Waldron discovered the asteroid, 3753 Cruithne, while serving at the UK Schmidt Telescope at Siding Spring Observatory, and on November 21, 1986, also discovered asteroid 5577 Priestley.
HE0107-5240 was found by Norbert Christlieb and colleagues at the University of Hamburg in Germany as a byproduct of the Hamburg/ESO Survey for faint quasars with the 1m ESO Schmidt telescope.
The asteroid 4768 Hartley (1988 PH1) was named in his honour, being deputy astronomer of the U.K. Schmidt telescope at Siding Spring, with which this minor planet was discovered.
The 1.2 metre UK Schmidt Telescope (UKST) is operated by the Australian Astronomical Observatory (formerly the Anglo-Australian Observatory), and located adjacent to the 3.9 metre Anglo-Australian Telescope at Siding Spring Observatory, Australia.
