Four College Automated Photoelectric Telescope.

This 0.75 meter telescope is located out west in Washington Camp, Arizona. The telescope is run by four different colleges (The Citadel, Villanova University, The College of Charleston, and The University of Nevada-Las Vegas) and is entirely run on an automated algorithm that determines which target has highest priority based on the priority given and based on the percentage of time each college gets. My MS advisor, Nancy Morrison, collaborated with Saul Adelman of The Citadel to observe Deneb with this telescope in the Stromgren system, using differential photometry. While this was so difficult for such a bright star, the data proved to be invaluable.
