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

 This method is not very advantageous because of the additional timer, that could be replaced by the station's computer. Moreover, the situation could be addressed using the same method as in [[en:mrakomer4|MRAKOMĚRu4]].

-Protože kamery této stanice by měly být směrovány tak, aby zabíraly oblohu, tak pozorovaná data lze také teoreticky využít pro meteorologické aplikace. Neboť oblačnost sledovaná zespodu z menší vzdálenosti může poskytovat cenné informace o výskytu stoupavých proudů, parametrech bouřek, nebo o postupu front.
+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 small distances from below can provide useful information concerning the occurrence of updrafts, storm parameters or moving of fronts.
-Fotometricky může být také měřena výška základny oblačnosti, nebo její tloušťka, úroveň pokrytí.
+Using photometry we can measure the height of cloud base, its thickness or the extent of the cloud cover.
-Dalším užitečným výstupem může být koncentrace prachu a aerosolů v atmosféře.
+Other useful output may be the measure of the concentration of dust and aerosols in the atmosphere.
