Abstract
In recent years, the scientific community has shown an increased interest in sky glow research. This has revealed an increased need for automated technology that enables continuous evaluation of sky glow. As a result, a reliable low-cost platform has been developed and constructed for automating sky glow measurement. The core of the system is embedded software and hardware managed by a microcontroller with ARM architecture. A monolithic photodiode transimpedance amplifier is used to allow linear light measurement. Data from the diode are collected and used to arrange the exposure time of every image captured by the digital single-lens reflex camera. This proposal supports experimenters by providing a low-cost system to analyse sky glow variations overnight without a human interface.
