Scientific paper

Fully robotic telescopes at the Fairborn Observatory, which began operation in 1983, have been in continuous operation for a quarter century. Although initially confined to smaller telescopes, automation and remote access have now spread to the largest telescopes. Due to the high cost of transportation, many large telescopes, such as Keck, are now being operated remotely by astronomers in real time. Others, such as the Canada-France- Hawaii telescope, are being operated autonomously without any onsite staff. A recent conference, Telescopes from Afar, allowed a contrast to be made between early automation and remote access developments at the Fairborn Observatory and the current state-of-the-art in these areas for both small and large telescopes, as well as consideration of a recent development-networks of small automated telescopes.
