✦ Synopsis

Abstract

We present a description of a reusable software package able to control a large, heterogeneous network of fully and semi‐robotic observatories initially developed to run the MONET network of two 1.2m telescopes. Special attention is given to the design of a robust, long‐term observation scheduler which also allows the trading of observation time and facilities within various networks. The handling of the “Phase I&II” project‐development process, the time‐accounting between complex organizational structures, and usability issues for making the package accessible not only to professional astronomers, but also to amateurs and high‐school students is discussed. A simple RTML‐based solution to link multiple networks is demonstrated. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
