| Abstract: |
In 2007, the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) started a project
with the goal to enable remote control of the Mauna Kea observatory from
the Headquarters facility in Waimea. After a few years of development
effort the observatory has operated exclusively in a remote fashion
since the beginning of 2011. This paper will discuss the entire
lifecycle of the project from design and development to the successful
implementation and ongoing operation of remote observing. Special
emphasis will be given to the challenges, successes and lessons learned
along the way. |
