Global network update

27 February, 2009

Over the next 12 months, we will be transforming our global telescope network, inline with our plans to have continuous night sky coverage by the end of 2012.

About the Network

The global telescope network is continually expanding. We currently have 2 operational telescopes at 2 separate sites and will eventually have continuous coverage of the night sky from multiple locations. There will be 3 main classes of telescope, categorized by the size of the primary mirror: 2m, 1m and 0.4m
