Field of view incorrect

[edit]

The article currently says "These 4096×4096 pixel cameras provide a field of view of 1 degree square on with the 1.5-m telescope and nearly 9 square degrees with the Catalina Schmidt." This is based on a reference from a post on an internet forum that is no longer accessible (at least I get "This site can’t be reached" from Chrome - possibly firewall issue). However Catalina Sky Survey's own website says: "The 1.5-m survey telescope ... field of view is 5.0 deg2 ... The 0.7-m survey telescope... field of view is 19.4 deg2", so the article seems to be out quite dramatically. If there are no objections I suggest the article is updated accordingly. Here is the reference to the CSS website:
