28/12/2010:
Two auroral cameras were replaced from main building of Apatity
division of Polar Geophysical Institute to Apatity stratospheric range.
One of them is all-sky camera prepared for outdoor operation, and
another is the b/w Guppy-044B NIR camera with 25mm lens on pan-tilt
mount. Both cameras were tested before this date at the position of PGI
building. |
