TelescopeComplexType

Information about a telescope and its associated instrumentation (either one of the generic instruments, <Camera> or <Spectrograph>, or some other <Device>). If no SpectralRegion element is given, it is assumed to be an optical telescope. The two elements <Coordinates> (also used in <Target>) and < TrackRate> can be used to communicate the present and extrapolated position of the telescope (e.g. in a frequently updated RTML dump). If the telescope is expressed as a hierarchy of <Telescope>s, then the assumption is that the sub-telescopes all move together, either as separate units (e.g. VLA, TAOS), or as multiple telescopes on a single mount (e.g. ROTSE I, RAPTOR P).
