Astronomical observatories established as part of activities at the Silesian University of Technology included initially three units. These were the observatory in Pyskowice (night observations), in the village of Kotulin (daytime solar observations), and the remote observatory in Otivar (Spain, in collaboration with ScopeDome). However, now in the SUTO network, we collaborate with other observatories with various observing instruments. The mission of SUTO network is to combine the capabilities of small observatories for the purpose of big astronomical projects and undertakings. For observatories connected in SUTO, we perform optimized planning, image data processing, and distribution of results to interested researchers so that the scientific outcome is maximized. As engineers, we also specialize in image processing, data reduction, and opto/electro/mechanical solutions for astronomical purposes. We encourage you to cooperate with us and join the SUTO telescopes network!
