Abstract

Networked projects e.g. Gamma-Ray Burst follow up optical observations require dense worldwide coverage. We are investigating potentially interesting sites for observatories in Central Asia where coverage by observatories is still poor. One of the most important parameter of a site is a number of clear night hours. We present first results of direct parameter measurements gathered with weather stations and our own observations in different sites of Mongolia.
