Introduction. It is very important for astronomical study and observation to operate a telescope by oneself. However, there are various problems such as the cost and location to use the telescope. The most promising technology that solves those problems is a remote telescope system. However, an old and usual remote telescope system was Server & Client type system. Therefore, the remote telescope owners and the remote telescope users have to manage their telescope by themselves. Especially, enough knowledge of the network, the time and cost to control the telescopes are necessary for the remote telescope owners. So it is difficult for general telescope owners to offer their telescopes as remote telescopes. We are developing a new environment that manages the remote telescopes. The environment connects users who want to use telescopes with the telescopes connected with PC (RS232c, USB, etc) all over the world. Our goal is to develop an environment by which users are able to cooperate and to share a lot of telescopes and the observational data for the education and the observation. Methods. Our remote telescope system is established on the P2P agent network. Various agents execute tasks allocated instead of users. (to retrieve, to connect, to control, etc) So users needn't do irksome tasks. Our system mounts LL-Net (Location-based Logical Network). LL-Net can manage user nodes on the P2P network by a key made based on location information. Our system key is allocated by the longitude and latitude. Results and Discussion. Users can retrieve remote telescopes that suit them and connect with them. Telescope owners can make their telescopes remote telescopes without troublesome jobs. Logical network constructed with LL-Net enables telescopes which the user hoped to be retrieved efficiently. We investigate more suitable use of LL-Net for a remote telescope. We plan to realize to share the observational data and to make remote telescopes cooperate.
