Steps to Develop Some Immediate and Long-term Functionality in Telescope Networks Long standing problem, with lots of effective and valiant work to date -- Yerkes, Perth, etc. Huge promise coming soon -- LCOGT and others to the rescue!! Community wide problem, not just HOU. Educational Community is main customer, although professional community controls purse strings and work flow. (and professional community will undoubtedly benefit).
2
Plan for Meeing of Minds and Networks! Includes most known networks Get something working that is simple and stupid but can get some images to teachers somewhat reliably. Don’t design out scalability. See invitation letter!
3
Mailing List (almost three dozen networks Or remote telescopes and other interested parties:
4
Goals: Help get some short term relief Build a proposal to the NSF to do this right Educate and inform the community Plan for the future but get some thing working asap.
5
Some Short Term Relief: HOU Perth and one or two others close to working on the network - remaining work is on administration side -- passwords, accounts, etc. CI-Team regularly uses Perth in Robotic batch mode and it is now working beautifully. Stay tuned on this one, and then please use it! (Bloody Australians got 10,000 images last month!!) We probably have about a dozen telescopes that will give us some telescope time, particularly in batch mode. Mike Ford example: “Sure, HOU can use it a lot soon” Get some more real-time observing telescopes using ACP -- telescope time reservation system starts construction this month.
