摘要
MASCARA, the Multi-site All-Sky CAmeRA, consists of several fully-automated stations. Its goal is to find exoplanets transiting the brightest stars, in the m(V) = 4 to 8 magnitude range. Each station contains five wideangle cameras monitoring the near-entire sky at each location. The five cameras are located in a temperaturecontrolled enclosure and look at the sky through five windows. A housing with a moving roof protects MASCARA from the environment. Here, we present the opto-mechanical design of the first MASCARA station.
