Scientific paper

Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope (LCOGT) is a privately-funded observatory dedicated to time-domain astronomy. Our main observing tool will be a homogeneous world-wide network of 12 x 1m optical telescopes, each equipped for both imaging and spectroscopy. Here we describe the LCOGT 1m telescope design, its development status, and our plans for deploying a dozen or so such telescopes in a worldwide network capable of continuous observing. We also describe the 80 cm Sedgwick telescope, which is now in regular operation as a research instrument, and which has served as a prototype for many of the 1m mechanical and control systems.
