Faulkes Telescope North, Research telescope at Haleakalā Observatory, Hawaii, US.
The Faulkes Telescope North features a 2-meter diameter mirror and operates at an elevation of 3052 meters on Mount Haleakala in Maui County.
The telescope began operations in 2003 as part of the Faulkes Telescope Project, built by Telescope Technologies Limited from Liverpool John Moores University.
The facility connects students and educators across the United Kingdom with astronomical research opportunities through remote access during school hours.
Located above one-third of Earth's atmosphere, the telescope benefits from reduced atmospheric interference and clear observation conditions throughout the year.
In 2013, the telescope captured images of the Herschel Space Observatory during its final mission phase, contributing to space monitoring capabilities.
