Abstract
Six VAX-11/780 computers have been set up at different centres of astronomical research throughout the United Kingdom. These computers are solely for the use of astronomers and they are linked together using special telephone lines. They are proving to be a powerful tool, both in the reduction of astronomical images and in the subsequent data analysis.
