eSTAR deployment

越来越多的望远镜可以通过互联网访问，允许远程请求观测。这给我们提供了一种可能性，即计算机可以要求进行观察，它们可以评估所得数据，并就应该进行哪些后续观察做出明智的决定。eSTAR项目开创了这样一个“思考望远镜网络”，并创建了一个测试网络，该网络已经执行了一些科学项目。在这里，我们正在申请扩大网络，以及它所开展的科学范围，使它成为天文学家容易使用的工具。

An increasing number of telescopes can be accessed via the internet, allowing observations to be requested remotely. This gives us the possibility that observations could be requested by computers, who could them assess the resulting data, and make intelligent decisions about what follow-up observations should be made. The eSTAR project has pioneered such a 'thinking telescope network', and created a test network which has carried out some scientific programmes. Here we are applying to enlarge the network, and the range of science it carries out, to make it easily usable tool for astronomers.
