Scientific paper

A variety of specialized devices have been developed to aid the operation of an unattended observatory. We describe here a precipitation monitor and two types of cloud monitors. One cloud monitor uses a small telescope and CCD to continuously measure the brightness of Polaris. Other devices described include a simple altitude limit switch, an automated mirror cover, and a liquid nitrogen auto-fill system.
