An autonomous telescope optimized for planet hunting. This is the Automated Planet Finder (APF), a 2.4-meter telescope located at the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton in California (USA) that is also the first robotic telescope dedicated to the search for habitable exoplanets such as the Kepler missions or DISH. It has already made its first discoveries since its commissioning in January 2014.
