An automated all-sky atmospheric monitoring camera for a next-generation ultrahigh-energy cosmic-ray observatory

Original language description

We have developed a fully-automated instrument (FASCam — Fast All Sky Camera) designed to capture night all-sky images and analyse cloudiness and coarse atmospheric properties for a proposed next-generation ultrahigh energy cosmic ray observatory, called the Fluorescence detector Array of Single-pixel Telescopes (FAST). FASCam has a 360° × 90° (azimuth and elevation) field of view and is equipped with a series of photometric Johnson-Cousins filters (BVR) and an Ultra-violet (UV) filter. The camera is installed on the top of one of the three FAST prototype telescope buildings located in central Utah, U.S.A. . An online analysis of the images provides real time cloud coverage maps and coarse atmospheric extinction measurements and a night sky background estimate in the field of view of the FAST fluorescence telescopes.
