Abstract
The extent of cloud cover is crucial for astronomers when making ground based optical
astronomical observations. This information is important to astronomers in determining if the sky is suitable for observing and to what extent the cloud cover may affect
their data. Normally, estimation of cloud cover is done visually by the astronomer,
however in the case of the Mt Kent Observatory this is not possible as the telescope
is designed to be operated remotely and there will not be an astronomer on site every
night of the year to make these observations.
