Robotic telescope of Zvenigorod observatory INASAN
Abstract
The Institute of Astronomy of the RAS works on the robotic monitoring systems to a wide range of astrophysical tasks. As a result of the work, a robotic optical system with 20-cm wide-angle telescope was created. The special software has been developed. This software allows controlling devices in automatic mode without operator's participation. Robotic telescope IRT-20 is located at the INASAN Zvenigorod Observatory. Photometric observations of variable stars and searching of optical transients are carried out in a constant mode by robotic telescope.
