PY - 2010 DA - 2010/03/16 TI - The NMSU 1 m Telescope at Apache Point Observatory SP - 193086 VL - 2010 AB - We describe the New Mexico State University (NMSU) 1 m telescope located at the Apache Point Observatory (APO), and in particular, its robotic mode of operation. Some of the issues we have encountered may be of interest toothers developing similar facilities. This telescope provides a good example of the possibilities of locating a moderate-sized university robotic research telescope at a major observatory. We find that this mode of operation provides a significant amount of productive science data on a relatively small budget.
