Out of all the 2m class of telescopes built in Birkenhead (UK) by TTL (before it became part of LCOGTLas Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network), FT North was installed first. It was the first to be commissioned but the Liverpool telescope (which has an almost identicle design) was built first.
At present Hawaiian and UK schools, along with LCOGT astronomers have exclusive access to this research class telescope.
Initial capital and operational funding for the Faulkes Telescope North was provided by The Dill Faulkes Educational Trust. Faulkes Telescope North is now operated by Las Cumbres Observatory as a component of the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network.
