Description
The Permanent All Sky Survey (PASS) will consist of arrays of wide angle CCD cameras, that will permanently survey the entire visible sky from several observing sites. Its major objectives are the detection of all giant-planet transits across bright stars and the detection and continuous tracking of any variable or transient phenomena in the full sky. A prototype with one CCD camera has been set up at Teide Observatory, Tenerife, and has been in regular operation since April 2005. Here is given an overview over the ongoing observations and the quality control that has been implemented.
