All-Sky Camera Aurora Observatory

High-Latitude Aurora Activity Monitor by means of an automatised digital camera, recording all-sky images in the 630.0 nm (red), 557.7 nm (green) and 427.8 nm (blue) wavelengths. The camera is operated by INAF (Italian National Institute of Astrophysics) and contributes to the international network MIRACLE ( https://space.fmi.fi/MIRACLE/), with instruments distributed along the Scandinavia and the Svalbard. The camera started operating in November 1999, when it was located on the roof of the French building (Lat = 78° 55' 20" N, Lon = 11° 56' 02" E). In November 2015 the instrument was moved to the Sensitive Lights Cabin (Lat = 78° 56' 28.2" N, Lon = 11° 50' 31.7" E, Elev. = 28 m). The Instrument was then updated in 2017 with a new cooled CMOS camera, which replaced the old CCD camera + image intensifier.
