The Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes or ING operates the WHT, INT and JKT optical telescopes for PPARC, the NWO and the IAC. The telescopes are located at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma in the Canary Islands.

These telecopes were formerly under the control of the Royal Greenwich Observatory before UK (Labour) government cutbacks in 1998.
