We present a summary of selected projects that have made use of the new 0.9-meter telescope located at the Brigham Young University West Mountain Observatory during its first year of operation. Projects are limited to direct imaging but include a wide variety of subjects. Targets include intrinsic variable stars, standard star photometry, narrow band imaging studies, and long term monitoring of various objects such as high mass X-ray binaries, active galactic nuclei, pre-main sequence objects, and Cepheid variable stars. The use of filters with excellent transmission characteristics, along with a high quantum efficiency CCD, has greatly extended the effective limiting magnitude for this system.
The 0.9-meter telescope was made possible through a grant from the National Science Foundation PREST program (AST-0618209). We also acknowledge continued support from the Brigham Young University Department of Physics and Astronomy for continued operational funding and research support at the West Mountain Observatory.
