Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope: A homogeneous telescope network

Abstract

Abstract Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope is a research organisation in the process of designing and building a network of robotic telescopes to be used for research in time‐domain astrophysics and education. The network will have complete latitude coverage in both hemispheres to allow continuous observations of any target. In other words, we will keep you in the dark . We describe the current status of our facilities and our vision for the full network. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
