The Hexapod-Telescope (HPT) was a 1.5-metre (59 in) Ritchey-Chrétien optical telescope, that operated in 2006-2017 in the Cerro Armazones Observatory (OCA) in northern Chile, and is currently decommissioned. The notable feature of the HPT – and the reason for its name – was the design of its mount.
