Over it's first three years of operation, the Skynet Robotic Telescope Network has taken over 1 million images for approximately 20,000 users. To date the network consists of telescopes in Chile, North Carolina, Italy, Colorado, and California. I will describe Skynet and demo one of its telescopes.
