0.4m

The 0.4m class of telescopes is currently in production at the Santa Barbara headquarters of LCOGTLas Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network. These telescopes are based around a modified Meade telescope with a custom equatorial mount, and high specification CCD cameras. This class of telescope will be available for non-professional astronomers (of all ages) to use, the majority of the time. Despite their relatively small size, they will be installed at dark sites (along with professional telescopes) in clusters, making their images very high quality.
