All-Sky Camera View
This image was taken with the LSST all-sky camera, shortly after it achieved first light in early September 2019. This camera, installed on calibration hill near the Auxiliary Telescope, will monitor the entire sky every minute of the night, mapping the transparency of the sky (i.e. clouds) to give instant feedback to the LSST Scheduler on where to point the telescope in the sky for efficient survey observations.
