Stellar Oscillations Network Group (SONG) is a new international project with the aim of developing a global network of automatic telescopes of ~1m aperture devoted to asteroseismology and planet hunting with a major fraction of the available time devoted to asteroseismology. The project is undergoing a conceptual design study in 2006 and is still in its very earliest phases. The network is expected to consist of 8 identical telescope-nodes, and will be operated as a single facility. A timescale for the implementation of the project is not yet developed, but it is realistic to expect that full operations can, at the earliest, commence around 2010. SONG is planned to provide high S/N data for many stars of different types, with emphasis being on long time-series work lasting several weeks to months for selected targets. The network will focus mainly on bright stars.
