Automated Telescope Observations Workflow with Skynet Terminator and Data Management Pipeline

This document outlines the automated telescope observation workflow facilitated by the Skynet Terminator system. Users submit requests through a web interface, which are stored in a MySQL database. The Skynet system manages observation requests, dispatching jobs to Terminator units at various telescopes. Each Terminator controls hardware using TheSky and Maxim DL software. After capturing imagery, the data returns to a central Data Manager where it undergoes a reduction pipeline on a Linux cluster. Finally, users can retrieve their FITS images via a website or FTP.
