The FACT Sky Quality Meter (SQM) is located in the wiki:Skybox which also hosts the wiki:Positionmeter. It was installed in July 2014 by Hanspeter and Lubomir on the telescope. The first iteration had a problem: the window was not water tight. After a second iteration we could make the front window water tight. Then, after a week of testing in the rain Gareth, Adrian, and me decided to fly the box.

The Sky Quality Meter is a regular Unihedron SQM: http://unihedron.com/projects/sqm-le/

It is reachable in our internal ethernet via
