+Since 2004, the observatory has been equipped with an high resolution all sky camera. In particular, this camera consists of a 4096x4096 front illuminated CCD chip and a modified 16mm fisheye lens (design is patented). The instrument is capable of recording the entire night sky once per minute with a spatial resolution of 2 arcmin/pixel. With an instrumental cycle of 40s exposure & 20s readout, the system reaches an unfiltered limiting magnitude of ~10-11.
