The Bulgarian Rozhen National Astronomical Observatory (NAO) will start a scientific observation programme using its new robotic telescope as of the beginning of next month.
NAO Director Nikola Petrov unveiled this to the country's national news agency BTA on Tuesday.
"Astronomers from Hungary, Germany, France, Poland, Serbia, Italy, India, Japan, Russia and the United States have collaborated with their Bulgarian colleagues at Rozhen before, but now the new 1.5 m aperture telescope will allow them to carry out observations remotely," BTA reported.
"The NAO astronomers are finishing trial observations with the new telescope, which was inaugurated in July 2023. The tests show that the device performs no worse than the 2 m aperture telescope at Rozhen, Petrov said."
