Lunatico AAG Cloud Detector and Weather Station - ideal for Remote Observatories

Lunatico Astronomical Cloud Detector and Weather Station

The monitoring station is ideal for remote observatories, but also useful for all other observatories. You always keep an eye on weather, clouds, temperature and light and can react immediately. The Lunatico AAG weather sensor supplies four measuring instruments in a compact and easy-to-install weather-proof box:

Clouds sensor: An infrared sensor measures the temperature of the sky. This is compared with an internal temperature sensor. The software then calculates the coverage of the sky.

Rain sensor: Any, even the slightes rain is registered. The sensor is heated so that the water evaporates and the sensor is immediately available again. In this way, uninterrupted monitoring of the rain is possible.

Light sensor: You see how much dawn has advanced or if the moon has risen.

Temperature sensor: The outside temperature is always important, as you can still save a long time exposure when temperature change rapidly. Furthermore, you you have always an information about the ambient temperature during the running exposure.

The measurements are displayed graphical in the computer. The sensor is ready for Windows operating systems. In the AppStore, you can find suitable apps under the product name "CloudWatcher" or "AAC CloudWatcher".
