The Liverpool Telescope : Telescope + Instruments : Robotic Systems
http://telescope.livjm.ac.uk/TelInst/Robotic
04 Sep 09:33 UT. RCW AUTO RCS Idle. Target of Opportunity (TO) mode. This page provides an overview of the Liverpool Telescope's fully autonomous robotic systems. The operational implications for the astronomer ordering observations from this robotic telescope are addressed chiefly in the Phase 1 and Phase 2 proposal application pages. However, it's recommended users read this page as well if one wants to gain a more well-rounded understanding of this telescope's systems. Reliability: the system will be ...

The Liverpool Telescope : Telescope + Instruments : Target Acquisition
http://telescope.astro.livjm.ac.uk/TelInst/Targeting
04 Sep 09:33 UT. RCW AUTO RCS Idle. Target acquisition for spectroscopy may be achieved in two ways. Initially, an image of the target field is always obtained using the LT's work-horse wide-field optical imager (currently IO:O). That image is then used either. To identify the brightest source in the field and to centre on that target, or. For more details see the FRODOspec instrument page. Specific control of field rotation. Though observations at different epochs may be obtained at different sky orient...
