Abstract
The telescope used for identification of X-ray sources at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory is the Curtis Schmidt Telescope. This telescope is located at Tololo by agreement with the University of Michigan. The field of the telescope is 5° × 5° and its correcting aspheric plate has negligible chromatic aberration over the range 3200 to 10000 Å. This latter feature makes it an ideal instrument for multicolor survey work.
