Scientific paper

A software developed for the automatic acquisition, guiding and focusing of the Hamburg Robotic Telescope is described. The code which was developed in Java and C, is capable to detect all objects in the field and, to select the target to be observed. Guiding with this target star and focusing of the telescope optics is being done without human operation. In addition, several parameters are obtained from the images as a by product, such as the seeing and an instrumental magnitude of the target star, that help to estimate the observing conditions.
