New panoramic camera for SAO RAS BTA

The development of a new multifunctional panoramic sky-viewing system for the 6-m optical telescope BTA at the Upper Scientific Site (VNP) of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SAO RAS) is described. The new viewing system based on an IP camera with a CMOS detector is being created to replace the panoramic system of the previous generation. The multifunctional online operating mode of the new system will provide remote monitoring of the sky over the VNP both at night and in the daytime (in color mode) with a variable field of view ranging from $5^\circ$ to $87^\circ$ and the ability of $360^\circ$ scanning in azimuth and $90^\circ$ by elevation angle. It is also possible to obtain not only the images of the night sky with stars and/or the Moon but also images of the Sun in daytime with sunspots resolved.
