The Gattini Cameras for Optical Sky Brightness Measurements at Dome C, Antarctica
International audience The Gattini cameras are two site testing instruments for the measurement of optical sky brightness, large area cloud cover and auroral detection of the night sky above the high altitude Dome C site in Antarctica. The cameras have been operating since installation in January 20...
