Abstract

The Dynamic REd All-sky Monitoring Survey (DREAMS) is a near-infrared fully automated all-sky survey that will be conducted using a custom built 0.5m telescope that will be located at the Australian National University’s Siding Spring Observatory. The telescope feeds 6 individual InGasAs cameras spanning a total field-of-view of 3.8sq.deg using a novel optomechanical design. Here we present the finished details of the telescope construction and its measured performance as well as details of the survey it will perform of the Southern transient sky.
