Scientific paper

We describe the capabilities and early results from a newly developed optical observatory, the Challis Rapid Reaction Observatory (CRRO). Our initial nightly observing program concentrates on blazars, accreting binaries and gamma-ray bursts. The CRRO is located in central Idaho at 2165 m (7100 feet) elevation, in a mountain desert micro-climate that enjoys the driest ( 5” yearly precipitation) and clearest nights in the State. It is completely remotely operable, with all necessary capabilities for automated operation in response to GRB alerts. This facility adds materially to the U.S. geographic coverage for GRB afterglows, being the only automated, remotely operable facility in the northwest part of the country.
