It was realised very early in the development of the ESO 16 metre equivalent Very Large Telescope (VLT) that wide-field imaging is too complicated and costly to implement on the VLT itself and should be done with a smaller telescope.

The desire of astronomers for wide field telescope systems which surpass the RCC (1:8 max. 1.5 degree) in light gathering power and field of view are relative concrete today. For this type of telescope, detectors planned ARE CCDs in multichip arrangement.

We present the results of wide-field imaging of nearby galaxies observed in the near-infrared using a large format array. The total magnitudes and mass-to-luminosity ratios of NGC 253, M 82, NGC 891, and some cluster members are discussed.

We have carried out wide field imaging observations in the near-infrared (J, H and K′ band) with a large format array camera attached to the prime focus of the 105 cm Schmidt telescope at Kiso Observatory. The image resolution, limiting magnitudes and the effect of thermal radiation are discussed.

I present a preliminary analysis of three UV images of the Virgo cluster region, obtained by the FAUST experiment (Bowyer et al. 1993) in April 1992. FAUST is a wide-field imaging telescope covering an 8° area with effective resolution of 3′.5. The experiment was constructed by the Berkeley Space Astronomy Group together with the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique Spatiale of the CNES. It operated on board the Shuttle during the mission ATLAS-1.
