 ==== Protection of camera ====
-Camera placed in a way that it has direct view to the ecliptic has to be protected against direct sunshine that may damage the CCD chip.

 It is customary to use a timer, that would close a camera shutter during a day by means of cutting off the power source.

 ==== Meteorology ====
-Because station's cameras should be directed in a way that they cover the whole sky, the data can be theoretically used for meteorological applications. Cloud cover observed at smaller distances from below can provide useful information concerning the occurrence of updrafts, storm parameters or moving of fronts.

 Using photometry we can measure the height of cloud base, its thickness or the extent of the cloud cover.
