Abstract

The Rapid Eye Mount (REM) is a 60 cm robotic telescope located at La Silla, Chile. Its Observing Software (REMOS) is constituted by a set of distributed intercommunicating processes organized around a central manager. Together they grant the system safety, automatically schedule and perform observations with two simultaneous cameras of user‐defined targets, and drive fast reaction to satellite alerts. Subsequent data reduction is left to pipelines managed by each camera.
