Zadko Telescope

The Zadko Telescope is located about 80 km north of Perth, Western Australia, on the premise of the Australian International Gravitational Wave Observatory. It is a robotic 1-m optical telescope donated to the University of Western Australia by James Zadko, aimed at studying the transient Universe. Most of its results are currently on gamma-ray bursts, gravitational wave events, supernovae, and minor bodies of the solar system.
