Automatic sky quality assessment. 1: The point measurement device
Abstract
An automated photometer designed to measure atmospheric extinction and sky brightness has been implemented. The measurement routines are primarily under computer control and require a minimum of operator intervention. A description of the theory and operation of the system is given, and the text concludes with a discussion of the use of the automated system in the context of the GEODSS mission.
