Telescope Network - Shrinking?

[George Yendrey]

I went to the Telescope Network page today and my impression is that the network has gotten smaller.

Is this true?  What are the plans/outlook for the telescope network?

Hi George,

The network hasn’t changed since we removed CHI 2 and CHI 6 from our network - these were telescopes from a partner network that were unable to implement our cutting-edge scheduling algorithms that power the one-click observations and bundles, furthermore, since they were not under our control we weren’t able to upgrade them to the new QHY 600M CMOS sensors from the older PL16803 KAF CCD sensors.

As for network expansion we have detailed our plans in our TL4 announcement blog post here: https://telescope.live/blog/unveiling-telescope-live-4-new-era-telescope-live

It’s going to be an exciting time for Telescope Live this winter!
