Zwicky started extragalactic supernovae patrol using 10 inch Schmidt camera about fifty years ago. After that the research of supernovae was accelerated, because the wide view of the Schmidt camera made it possible to watch large field of the sky. The key technology of the Schmidt camera was its sophisticated optical system.

Anticipated next supernova in our Galaxy may be undetectable by the optical instrument due to the Galactic extinction. However, supernovae are now known to be intense radio sources after a year or so of the explosion. Even if the positions are beyond the Galactic center, the radio supernova could be observed using middle size radio telescope.
