Abstract SNe Ia are currently providing the most direct measurements of the accelerated expansion of the Universe and also put constraints on the nature and evolution of the so-called ‘dark energy’. Despite major efforts to increase the number of known high-redshift SNe Ia with reliable distance estimates, two regions in the Hubble diagram remain only sparsely observed. At redshifts z > 1 the limitations of ground-based instruments require the Hubble Space Telescope and its superior angular resolution to get meaningful distance estimates, while at intermediate redshifts (z ≃ 0.2) the large solid angle necessary presents an obstacle to most surveys that can be overcome with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, SDSS-II.
