The Global Network of Astronomical Telescopes (GNAT) is modeling its observing system on a network of scan-mode telescopes following the designs of the Moving Object and Transient Event Search System (MOTESS), implemented at Goodricke-Pigott Observatory in Tucson, Arizona. GNAT has developed a comprehensive data pipeline for extracting photometric measurements of all of the stars observed in each of the discrete declination bands observed with the scan-mode system. This enormous volume of observations is leading to an aggressive program of discovery of objects that are in many cases of great interest in terms of follow-up observations. GNAT is reaching out to both the professional and amateur astronomy communities to identify potential collaborators who are interested in participating in a wide variety of follow-up research programs.
