Abstract

A method of using on-going panoramic all-sky monitors for the purpose of bright optical transient detection is described. The detection is performed by comparing all-sky images to canonical images taken at the same sidereal time. The described approach has been implemented and tested using the infrastructure of the Night Sky Live network of panoramic all-sky cameras. Preliminary results of detected bright flashes are presented in the paper.
