The '''Remote Telescope Markup Language (RTML)''' is an [[Extensible Markup Language|XML]] dialect for controlling remote and/or [[robotic telescope|robotic]] [[telescope]]s. It is used to describe various telescope parameters (such as [[Celestial coordinate system|coordinates]] and [[exposure time]]) to facilitate observation of selected targets. RTML instructions were designed to be displayed in a more human-readable way; they are then processed and executed by telescopes through local parsers.<ref name=std>{{cite journal |last=Pennypacker |first=C. |last2=Boer |first2=M. |last3=Denny |first3=R. |last4=Hessman |first4=F.
