The Impact of Light Pollution on a Proposed Automatic Telescope Network (ATN) and Vice Versa
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 May 2016
Abstract
We are proposing to operate a Network of Automatic Telescopes (ATN) for CCD imaging to conduct diverse astrophysical investigations and as a resource for science education. Coordinated utilization of telescopes at diverse sites provides the possibility of obtaining continuous photometry without diurnal interruption. We describe this project and discuss how it is impacted by light pollution, and conversely, how it might mitigate the growth of light pollution.
