Description
Recently, to observe afterglow at various places has appeared necessary. To do so, we have set a fully automated afterglow searching system named MIKOTS. The aperture of our telescope, with a CCD camera, is 300 mm and the focal length is about 1000 mm. The CCD has 512 x 512 pixels size corresponding to a chip size of 10.2 mm x 10.2 mm. The field of view, resolution and lower limit magnitude are 37.0 x 37.0, 4.12 x 4.12 and 18.1, respectively. This system can start observation less than 15 seconds after receiving the data from GCN
