Title: Mini-MegaTORTORA — multichannel system for wide-field optical monitoring with high temporal resolution
Keyword(s): Instrumentation: photometers, Instrumentation: polarimeters, Techniques: high temporal resolution
Pages: 251 -- 252

Abstract: We report on a multi-objective and transforming 9-channel monitoring system, the Mini-MegaTORTORA (MMT-9). This system combines a wide field of view with a subsecond temporal resolution in the monitoring regime, and is able to reconfigure itself, in fractions of a second, to a follow-up mode which has better sensitivity and provides us with multi-color and polarimetric information on detected transients simultaneously.
