The Southeastern Association for Research in Astronomy (SARA) consortium consists of five universities: Florida Institute of Technology, East Tennessee State University, Valdosta State University, University of Georgia, and Florida International University. A total of 17 SARA astronomers have research interests that range from asteroids to quasars. The SARA consortium owns and operates a 0.9-m telescope located at Kitt Peak, AZ. The refurbished telescope pointing/tracking system and new extremely high quality CCD imaging camera is being used operated remotely. Also available is a low resolution spectrograph used on-site. The telescope is equipped to hold both instruments at the same time so both photometric and spectroscopic observations can be made co-temporally. The SARA astronomers, collaborators, graduate students, and undergraduate students in the SARA Research Experience for Undergraduate Program sponsored by the National Science Foundation, form one of the largest groups serving astronomical research and education in the Southeastern United States.
