Scientific paper

Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network (LCOGT) is building a world wide telescope network with an emphasis on time domain astronomy. The final LCOGT network will have at least 40 telescopes in at least 7 sites around the world to continuously cover the dark sky in both hemispheres: two 2.0m telescopes, already available on Haleakala - HI, USA (FTN), and Siding Spring - Australia (FTS), roughly fifteen 1m, and twenty-five 0.4m telescopes now in various stages of construction and commissioning. We are integrating our telescopes with high speed EMCCD cameras to provide high speed photometry as well as lucky imaging capabilities.
Here we present our first generation high speed solutions, already installed at FTN and FTS and currently being integrated into our robotic system. Similar facilities are being fabricated for the 0.4m network, and designed for the 1m network.
