Smart telescopes were introduced to the consumer market in the 2010s. They are self contained astronomical imaging devices that combine a small (50mm to 114mm objective) telescope and GoTo technology with pre-packaged software designed for astrophotography of deep-sky objects .
Software systems allowed fully automated robotic operation in late March 1998, with the first automated responses to GRB 980326 from triggers received over the GRB Coordinates Network. ROTSE-I operated from then on and was the first fully autonomous closed-loop robotic telescope, and was used for GRB responses, X-ray transients and Soft Gamma ...
The Automated Planet Finder (APF) Telescope a.k.a. Rocky Planet Finder, [1] is a fully robotic 2.4-meter optical telescope at Lick Observatory, situated on the summit of Mount Hamilton, east of San Jose, California, USA. [2] It is designed to search for extrasolar planets in the range of five to twenty times the mass of the Earth. The ...
The Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) is an automated telescope used in the search for supernovae. The telescope had a first light in 1998, and is a noted robotic telescope. [1] It had first recorded data in August 1996, and was formally dedicated late that year. [2] It was used for the Lick Observatory Supernova Search. [2]
Telescopes can be classified by optical design or mechanical design/construction. Telescopes can also be classified by where they are placed, such as space telescopes. One major determining factor is type of light, or particle being observed including devices referred to as "telescopes" that do not form an image or use optics.
