      I use the PIRATE telescope every night – it’s a robotic telescope which automatically observes my target stars (http://pirate.open.ac.uk/) – this is an optical telescope and it uses light that you and I would see with our eyes. I use other telescopes which actually look at the chemical make up of stars, a technique called spectroscopy, like the Liverpool Telescope and the 74″ telescope. 🙂
