What is LCOGT (anyway)? And what can it do for **me**?

LCOGT and UCSB Physics

The Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope (LCOGT) aspires to be a global network of optical/NIR telescopes dedicated to the proposition of better time series through money. And hard work. And wide-ranging collaborations. I will describe the facilities that LCOGT presently commands, those that we hope to build in the near future, the kinds of science that we now plan to do, and the science that we would like to plan, if only we could partner with someone having relevant knowledge and interests.
