Future gravitational wave detections by both ground and space based laser interferometric observatories will possibly have electromagnetic counterparts on the sky. Detecting these counterparts will provide important complementary information, allowing a more complete characterization of the astrophysical source. The pointing provided by gravitational wave observatories will be quite broad compared to the normal field of view of a typical telescope, necessitating the development of sophisticated search strategies to identify electromagnetic counterparts. An important aspect of search strategies is knowing how much confusion on the sky will result from other objects that are varying in brightness during the follow-up survey. This project seeks to characterize the background sky variability on small regions of the sky as a function of galactic latitude for sub-meter class telescopes.
