Current research programmes using the smaller telescopes at Kitt Peak include spectroscopy, photometry, and imaging of clusters, variable stars, nebulae, and extragalactic objects. Their scientific productivity is competitive with the 4m and 2.1m telescopes. Subscription rates indicate that when advanced instrumentation is made available on a small telescope, the demand will increase significantly.
