The ASI-16 Base All Sky Imager is an automatic camera system with a 180° field of view, utilising a 5MP camera and ‘fisheye’ lens with an anti-reflective, airflow protected, quartz dome.
Dual side surge protection, and wide operating temperature, among other features, position the ASI-16 as one of the most reliable all-sky cameras available.
Developed by CMS-Schreder, the ASI-16 All Sky Imager is recommended and sold worldwide by EKO for remote sensing, weather and cloud observations, atmospheric research, supervision systems, aircraft-based observation systems, and other applications.
The system can be used for cloud coverage and cloud type analysis, with cloud base height (CBH) and cloud motion functions. It delivers high-resolution HDR images of the sky and clouds as pre-scheduled network stored JPGs and as a live video stream. It’s also a powerful cloud detector and can also take clear full hemispheric pictures of the sky during daylight, even under full sunlight conditions.
The ASI-16 includes a dedicated sensor interface to connect temperature and humidity sensors, plus an optional pyranometer.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
