Description

The Burst Alert Robotic Telescope is now in routine operation at the Ondrejov Observatory. The recent configuration includes a 25 cm optical tube and a 6.4 cm wide field camera with attached CCD cameras. The results of the test operation of the system as well as the system capabilities and scientific results obtained are presented and discussed. The cosmic ray statistics, background events statistics, methods of rapid data analyses as well as specific problems of reductions and evaluation of wide-field CCD images are also addressed
