BOOTES
BOOTES (Burst Observer and Optical Transient Exploring System) is a global network of robotic astronomical observatories with seven sites located in Spain (two stations), New Zealand, China, Mexico, South Africa and Chile. While the BOOTES-1 station in Spain is devoted to wide-field astronomy, the additional stations (BOOTES-2 in Spain, BOOTES-3 in New Zealand, BOOTES-4 in China, BOOTES-5 in Mexico, BOOTES-6 in South Africa and BOOTES-7 in Chile) include a similar setup (hardware and software): the 0.6m diameter robotic telescope, the EMCCD camera at the Cassegrain focus and the u'g'r'i'ZY filterset (only the u' filter is lacking in BOOTES-2), which makes the BOOTES Network a unique resource for combining the data from all the instruments worldwide.
