A Prototype for the PASS Permanent All Sky Survey
A prototype system for the Permanent All Sky Survey (PASS) project is presented. PASS is a continuous photometric survey of the entire celestial sphere with a high temporal resolution. Its major objectives are the detection of all giant-planet tran sits (with periods up to some weeks) across stars u...
