Streszczenie: The Black Hole Target and Observation Manager (BHTOM, bhtom.space) is a new platform for the coordination of time-domain observations. It accepts requests for targets for long-term or rapid photometric monitoring, such as transients, microlensing events, quasars, variable stars, and extrasolar planets, and collects data from a heterogeneous network of 120 telescopes from around the globe. The observations from the telescopes are automatically processed and standardised in BHTOM in order to provide science-ready data. I will present the system, its capabilities and the scientific results obtained so far. I will discuss how BHTOM can be utilized for photometric follow-up of targets and alerts discovered by Gaia, ZTF, ASASSN, and Rubin/LSST in the future.
