What happens outside is often not visible to the observer until the (very expensive) data are reduced. Cloud cover and transparency variations can spoil an astronomical measurement and make optimizing telescope usage difficult. [[BR]][[BR]]An all sky camera is the solution, giving the observer information on what is happening outside, so that he or she can react to sudden changes in weather and other conditions. Patrick Fopp, David Neb, and Tom Herbst describe the MPIA All-Sky Camera, which is currently being tested on the roof of the MPIA.[[BR]][[BR]]Talk: German[[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/WikiStart/2015-05-08_AllSkyCamera.pdf Slides: English][[BR]]Questions: German, English || |
