  • Monitor the sky brightness depending on the time of day, from night to night, from year to year.
  • Determine if it is worthwhile on a particular night to search for faintest objects on a given night.
  • Compare the effective sky brightnesses with qualitative
    measurements, e.g., using the Bortle scale.
  • Explore how sky brightness relates to the solar cycle and solar activity.
  • CCD photographers can determine at what sky brightness the ADC level of the sensor is reached.
  • Connection: Ethernet
  • Included applications for data acquisition: in Java, C, Perl, Python
