"The Liverpool Robotic Telescope"

ABSTRACT: "The Liverpool Telescope will be the world's first 2m class robotic telescope. It will be sited at the ORM, and will have 40 per-cent of its time available for PATT use. The telescope will be fully autonomous, and operate without night time supervision. I will describe the science goals of the project, how proposal management, robotic operation and data distribution will work, and give an overview of the telescope hardware and software design."
