路德维希-马克西米利安-慕尼黑大学在山顶上经营着一个天文台。位于巴伐利亚阿尔卑斯山的温德尔斯坦将配备一台现代化的2米级机器人望远镜。我们做了广泛的现场评估，并启动了各种传播、灭绝和视力监测项目。报告了这些监测的实施情况和结果。我们还提出了使天文台为这次重大升级做好准备的战略，包括硬件安装(除望远镜外)、网络和软件基础设施升级以及改进天文台的运作。我们的目标是在一个只允许部分机器人操作的站点上，在“低人力”的情况下进行最有效的观测。简要讨论了望远镜的基本设计和第一代仪器的策略。
The Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen operates an observatory on the summit of Mt. Wendelstein in the Bavarian alps which will be equipped with a modern 2 m-class, robotic telescope. We did extensive site evaluations and started various monitoring programs on transmission, extinction, and seeing. Implementation and results of these monitorings are reported. We further present our strategy to prepare the observatory for this major upgrade, including hardware installations (besides the telescope), network and software infrastructure upgrades, as well as improvements in the observatory operations. We aim at most efficient observations in a "low-person-power" situation on a site which allows only partial robotic operations. The basic telescope design and the strategy for its first generation of instruments are briefly discussed.
