Scientific paper

We report on the further development and tests of an low-cost optical all-sky monitor recently tested at the Karlovy Vary Observatory. The recent instrumentation is simple based on a Sigma 8 mm f3.5 EX DG fish-eye lens and CANON 1000D digital CMOS camera. It is a low-cost device suitable for easy replication and still able to detect brighter optical transients simultaneously to GRB triggers. Such OTs have been observed for some of the GRBs such as GRB990123, GRB060117, or recently GRB0803 indicating that some fraction of GRBs can generate optical transient emission accessible by simple small aperture instrumentation as described here. These efforts are accompanied by development of dedicated programmes to access and to evaluate all-sky images, these efforts will be also briefly described.
