Scientific paper

An unsupervised software ``robot'' that automatically and robustly reduces and analyzes CCD observations of photometric standard stars is described. The robot measures extinction coefficients and other photometric parameters in real time and, more carefully, on the next day. It reports its findings back to observers and data analysts via the World-Wide Web. Its output can be used to assess photometricity. Some scientific results from one year of operation are described. The capabilities of this robot represent the absolute minimum in uniform site monitoring for any observing site with queue scheduling, a public data archive, or likely participation in any future National Virtual Observatory. (This project makes use of SDSS data and SDSS, NASA and NSF funding.)
