Abstract

Automated telescopes are capable of generating images more quickly than they can be inspected by a human, but detailed information on the performance of the telescope is valuable for monitoring and tuning of their operation. The IQMon (Image Quality Monitor) package1 was developed to provide basic image quality metrics of automated telescopes in near real time.
