This paper details a generalised SCIDAR system developed for characterising atmospheric parameters using single star targets. The instrument, which is based on a commercially available 250 mm diameter telescope, offers the potential for characterising atmospheric parameters for wide areas of the sky. Here, we describe the system and results of a proof of principle study performed at an observing site in Galway, Ireland with the instrument. The paper also outlines the approach adopted in the data reduction and in solving the altitude dependence of refractive index structure constant given the raw data from the instrument.
