Scientific paper

The ``MOnitoring NEtwork of Telescopes'' (MONET) consists of two 1.2-m imaging telescopes funded by the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation and the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen and will be operated by the McDonald Observatory in West Texas and the South African Astronomical Observatory at Sutherland. Scheduled to go into full operation in 2005, it will be used to perform a variety of monitoring and survey observations over the whole sky, to aid observations by satellites and 10m-class telescopes like the VLT, HET and SALT telescopes, and will be available to participating school classes all over the world. Through our development and use of Remote Telescope Markup Language (RTML), MONET should be one of the kernels of a growing international network of heterogeneous telescopes.
