Current users only use CCDs to cover a small fraction of the Schmidt fields. We discuss what kind of Schmidt astronomy is more efficient and the advantages of Schmidt telescopes over reflecting telescopes. The BAO CCD multi-object light curve survey system and the BATC 15 colour survey are introduced.
