Faulkes Telescope South

Faulkes Telescope South was the last of the LCOGTLas Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network 2m class of telescopes to be commissioned. It has been operating since Summer 2006 and has had regular visits from the engineering team to make it as reliable as possible, at producing high quality astronomical data.
