Robotic Telescope Project

Peter Meadows

Robotic Telescope Coordinator

The Robotic Telescope Project allows BAA members access to remote telescopes and imaging systems at attractive rates. Members are able to use the service at half the commercial rate up to a limit, then at full rate, and are provided with access to a wide range of equipment beyond a private budget. It also allows users to benefit from observing from a location with a better climate than Britain's, including access to telescopes in the southern hemisphere. For details and an application form, see the Robotic Telescope Project website, which includes some of the results obtained by members. (The project is managed independently of the Observing Sections, and is not part of the Instruments and Imaging Section.)
