Abstract

(Abstract only) Global Telescope Network, Inc., (GTN) is a Colorado-based company providing a new level of access to the world of astronomy for educational, scientific, and public use. GTN is selecting two locations in the Northern Hemisphere and two in the Southern Hemisphere to place telescope arrays of 100 systems each that will be accessible over the Internet via high-speed communication lines. In addition to the latest CCD cameras, filters, spectroscopes, and other instruments, GTN will provide on-site access to interested individuals and organizations that wish to use the telescopes for visual and specialized projects.
