Bert,

I think you are referring to the various WASP arrays.
They each use 8 Canon 200mm f1.8 lenses with super duper back thinned E2V cameras

There is a setup with four or six? of these with astro detectors on a fork mount to do simultaneous overlapping fields to give really wide field surveys by professional astronomers. I will see if I can dig up the site.
