AbstractHere we report ongoing efforts for an untriggered search of rapid optical transients of various astrophysical and non-astrophysical origins on time scales down to fractions of a second with Mini-MegaTORTORA. Mini-MegaTORTORA is a novel 9-channel wide-field optical monitoring system in operation since 2014 at Special Astrophysical Observatory on Russian Caucasus.

AbstractWe describe the first light of a new 9-channel wide-field optical monitoring system with sub-second temporal resolution, Mini-MegaTORTORA, which is being tested now at the Special Astrophysical Observatory in Russian Caucasus. The system is able to observe the sky simultaneously in either wide (~900 deg

There is a need for very wide-field monitoring of the sky in several branches of astronomy and astrophysics, ranging from meteor research to monitoring of optical transients and counterparts to gamma ray burst sources. The photographic very wide-field monitoring of the sky is run at the Ondřejov Observatory and other stations of the Czech Meteor Network and is sensitive enough to record stars up to 11 mag on 3–4 h exposures or 1-s flashes up to 3.0 mag over a field-of-view of 180 deg. diameter. A CCD device for very wide-field monitoring is also in development with sensitivity of 5.0 mag for 1-s flashes (and 10 mag for stars with 100 s exposure) over a field-of-view of 50 × 60 degrees. Both systems are briefly described and discussed.

Here we briefly summarize our long-term experience of constructing and operating wide-field monitoring cameras with sub-second temporal resolution to look for optical components of GRBs, fast-moving satellites and meteors. The general hardware requirements for these systems are discussed, along with algorithms for real-time detection and classification of various kinds of short optical transients. We also give a status report on the next generation, the MegaTORTORA multi-objective and transforming monitoring system, whose 6-channel (Mini-MegaTORTORA-Spain) and 9-channel prototypes (Mini-MegaTORTORA-Kazan) we have been building at SAO RAS. This system combines a wide field of view with subsecond temporal resolution in monitoring regime, and is able, within fractions of a second, to reconfigure itself to follow-up mode, which has better sensitivity and simultaneously provides multi-color and polarimetric information on detected transients.

Here we present the results of our four years long observations of meteors with Mini-MegaTORTORA wide-field monitoring system with sub-second temporal resolution. Over this period, we detected and catalogued more than 175000 faint meteors with magnitudes down to 8-10 mag and angular velocities up to 40 deg/s. Recently, we started double-station observations using Mini-MegaTORTORA together with reconstructed FAVOR camera on 3.8 km baseline. This setup allows to observe tens of faint meteors per night. We present the preliminary results of such observations.
