Abstract

We describe our design for a mini-Schmidt all-sky monitor. By using standard micro-machining techniques we are able to build a module that is smaller, lighter and has a greater open area than previous prototypes. In addition, we retain the benefit of high quality metal-coated flat glass reflecting surfaces.
