| Abstract: |
We present the project that aims at renewal and advance the Petersburg Quasar Monitoring Program (PQMP) having been carried out during 1968-1993 (photographic photometry of blazars, OVV quasars and AGNs using 0.45m telescope at Byurakan Station located in Armenia). The homogeneous data sets for seven basic PQMP objects are of 18-26 years in duration. The new 0.75m full automated Ritchey-Chretien telescope with remote control had been designed and is now under construction. We describe some features of telescope design that takes into account the specifics of monitoring observations. This telescope will be equipped by CCD photometer for multiband (BVRI) monitoring of blazars. |
