The D50 is an autonomous robotic telescope, located at the Ondrejov observatory in the Czech Republic. Completed in 2007, the telescope’s primary purpose was and is to respond to gamma-ray burst detections. After several years of use, some parts of the telescope have been redesigned to be more reliable and better suited to its primary purpose. In addition, the telescope
serves as a testbed for development and student projects, so it is continuously being improved in hardware and software. We present the current status and parameters of the telescope as well as the level of data processing automation we have achieved.
