The robotic telescope is fully remote controlled, enabling a direct or autonomous control via the web, or by premade scripts. The system's consist of a highly sophisticated 14" S.cass – Celestron modified C14 working at f/8.7. The optical assembly uses a Paramount ME robotic mount.

The telescope assembly permits fine focusing using a computer-controlled temperature comprehended focuser connected to the custom reducer / corrector.

The telescope is equipped with a cooled SBIG ST8XE CCD camera, with Schuller and AstroDon photometric and narrow band filters, including spectra grating which gives the ability to perform spectrometric measurements.
