The Sunspot Monitoring Telescope has been developed and operated at the Hiraiso Solar Terrestrial Research Center, CRL. The main purpose of the telescope is daily full-disk observations of sunspots for the Space Weather Forecast Project in the Hiraiso/CRL. The telescope is a 15 cm refractor mounted on the equatorial mounting. The features of the telescope are: (1) one arc sec spatial sampling over full-disk sun with 2K by 2K CCD; (2) a full automatic system for routine observation; and (3) a five hole filter turret for interference filters with different wavelengths. The telescope has been operated since the end of November 1996 and its data is used for daily solar-terrestrial forecasts and related fundamental research. The data is also used for earth observation as fundamental data for data reduction. The software for automatic measurement of sunspot position, area, and for feature recognition is now being developed. The telescope will be operated along the ascending solar activity and will provide the fundamental data for Space Weather Forecast.
