QUEST
(sixteen square-degree survey camera)
QUEST is a wide angle survey
CCD camera with which the entire sky
can be scanned in three days, intended to look for changes (transients)
within such a time frame.
It is currently on the La Silla Observatory (LSO) ESO Schmidt Telescope,
and is used for surveys such as LaSilla-QUEST Variability Survey, after previous
operation on the Palomar 48 Inch Telescope for the Palomar-Quest Sky Survey.
