We report on the project of small--aperture remotely controled
telescope BART (Burst Alert Robotic Telescope) located at the
Ondrejov Observat ory. The 25-cm aperture system is automated in
order to provide rapid response to satellite measurements such as
Gamma Ray Bursts etc. The telescope is also able to provide
monitoring of selected sources such as AGNs, as well as simulatenous
optical data for various satellite--related campaigns. Based on
commercially available parts and newly designed software, the device
is suitable for duplications and networking.
