It is ironic that in this technical age we live in there are few professional facilities in operation that are designed to monitor the sky at optical wavelengths. Historically, this work has been left to dedicated amateur astronomers often using observatory grade equipment. Part of the reason for the absence of professional projects is the lack of reliable equipment and the huge data rates involved. The SuperWASP facility is an attempt by professionals to join in the exploitation of the time domain. It is the rapid development of robotic technology and affordable, but powerful, computing that has made this project feasible.
