ANTIPODAL TRANSIENT OBSERVATORY, HANLEIIA and McDonell Center for the Space Sciences of Washington University, St. Louis, USA, will operate two 0.5-m f/10 Cassegrain telescopes for monitoring Active Galactic Nuclei. One of these telescopes will be located at IAO and the other in Arizona, USA. The two telescopes, 180 deg apart in longitude, would together constitute the Antipodal Transient Observatory. The telescopes will be equipped with an optical CCD imager and be used in both robotic and remote observing modes. 70% of the telescope time will be used for continuous photometric monitoring of AGN, while the remaining time will be used for photometry of targest of opportunity and other programmes of interest.
