For an unattended telescopes in Antarctic, the remote operation, autonomousobservation and control are essential. An EPICS (Experimental Physics andIndustrial Control System) and RTS2(Remote Telescope System, 2nd Version) basedautonomous observation and control system with remoted operation is introducedin this paper. EPICS is a set of Open Source software tools, libraries andapplications developed collaboratively and used worldwide to create distributedsoft real-time control systems for scientific instruments while RTS2 is an opensource environment for control of a fully autonomous observatory. Using theadvantage of EPICS and RTS2 respectively, a combined integrated softwareframework for autonomous observation and control is established that use RTS2to fulfill the function of astronomical observation and use EPICS to fulfillthe device control of telescope. A command and status interface for EPICS andRTS2 is designed to make the EPICS IOC (Input/Output Controller) componentsintegrate to RTS2 directly. For the specification and requirement of controlsystem of telescope in Antarctic, core components named Executor and Auto-focusfor autonomous observation is designed and implemented with remote operationuser interface based on Browser-Server mode. The whole system including thetelescope is tested in Lijiang Observatory in Yunnan Province for practicalobservation to complete the autonomous observation and control, includingtelescope control, camera control, dome control, weather informationacquisition with the local and remote operation.
