Sierra Stars Observatory is an automated robotic facility.
The observatory's core instrument is a 0.61-meter (24-inch) F/10 Optical Mechanics Nighthawk CC06 telescope. The Nighthawk CC06 is a high-precision automated/robotic telescope with superb Classical Cassegrain optics fabricated by OMI's president James Mulherin.
The observatory control software is Talon which controls the entire observatory system (telescope, CCD camera, filter wheel, dome, and so on) for automated and direct control, locally and remotely.
