“…In 2008, the UH88 was the first telescope on Maunakea to switch to full remote observing followed by UKIRT in 2010, 23 CFHT in 2011 24,25 and Gemini North in 2015/2016 (known as Base Facility Operation, BFO, 26 ). Keck has also begun investigating the the process to switch over to Unattended Night Operations (UNO 27,28 ).…”

The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) is the largest single dish telescope in the world focused on submillimeter astronomy -and it remains at the forefront of sub-millimeter discovery space. JCMT continues its push for higher efficiency and greater science impact with a switch to fully remote operation. This switch to remote operations occurred on November 1st 2019. The switch to remote operations should be recognized to be part of a decade long process involving incremental changes leading to Extended Observing -observing beyond the classical night shift -and eventually to full remote operations. The success of Remote Observing is indicated in the number of productive hours and continued low fault rate from before and after the switch.
