Scientific paper

Professor Mike Bode and colleagues at Liverpool John Moores University (JMU) and the National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside (NMGM), aided by support from PPARC, have been engaged for several years in a venture to reintroduce large-scale telescope manufacture in the UK, and in particular construction of new-generation robotic telescopes. These instruments are being produced by Telescope Technologies Limited (TTL), the first of which will be named the 'Liverpool Telescope' or 'LT' and will be a 2-metre (80-inch) aperture Ritchey-Chrétien instrument to be located at the Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma in the Canary Islands, alongside the William Herschel and Isaac Newton telescopes.
