The core requirements for SEMS are the environment-related data determined to be necessary at every LCOGT site. This data will come from LCOGT-operated sensors.
The core SEMS system is split into two levels of monitoring: 1) Critical monitoring, and 2) Operational monitoring. Critical monitoring sensors are necessary to protect the telescope from weather. Operational monitoring sensors are necessary for a successful LCOGT network, but are not critical for asset protection.
Critical Monitoring
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Dew point (derived from Temp/Humidity)
- Wind speed (and direction)
- Wetness
- Particulate
Operational Monitoring
- Barometric Pressure
- Sky Brightness
