There are two obvious ways to make a quick survey work. A: A telescope with a wide field and a large size detector. B: Many telescopes with a rather narrow field and a small size detector. In Japan, there are now 47 telescopes with diameters of 50-100 cm dedicated to public use. If we develop a simple-to-handle detector system, non-professional observers at each public observatory would have the possibility of joining a collaborative survey network. We started a test observation which is expected to extend to a survey network.
