The NMSU 1 m Telescope at Apache Point Observatory

The NMSU 1 m Telescope at Apache Point Observatory

We describe the New Mexico State University (NMSU) 1 m telescope located at the Apache Point Observatory (APO), and in particular, its robotic mode of operation. Some of the issues we have encountered may be of interest to others developing similar facilities. This telescope provides a good example...
