Remote Observing is a new, important, and growing aspect of astronomy. Recent developments in global network communications have made remote observing a viable, and sometimes prefe rable, alternative to travel to a possibly remote and inhospitable telescope site.This workshop is the first in the world devoted to the topic. The contributors represent many of the world's major telescopes, radio, optical and infrared. The proceedings should become a standard reference for many years on the state of the art in remote control of and data acquisition from astronomical telescopes.Format: HardcoverNo of Pages: 356Imprint: World ScientificPublication date: 19931001 Show more
