BMP at the Castel di Guido Bird Protection Reserve
The BuioMetria Partecipativa project was invited to give a presentation at the Ninth European Night of the Owl in Castel di Guido, near Rome
BMP data used in scientific paper
Some of the measurements acquired by Francesco Giubbilini in the BMP project have been used in an article by Fabio Falchi
The peculiarity of these measurements is that they have been taken in the same location with and without snow
The article was published at the end of 2012 in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: “Campaign of sky brightness and extinction measurements using a portable CCD camera” it may be downloaded here.
Unihedron data accessible in web-GIS form from the BMP project
The BuioMetria Partecipativa project has added to its web mapping site an extensio to display SQM data available in the Unihedron database.
The data are updated daily.
Please check the interactive map.
We thank Unihedron for the permission to use the data from their database.

The first BuioMetria Partecipativa fixed SQM station is active
The first fixed SQM Station installed by the BuioMetria Partecipativa project has been running for some ten days. The station is measuring data night sky brightness every two minutes, in parallel with data from a small weather station.
At night the readings can be displayed in real time. The time series are then stored in our database for subsequent analysis
