abstract = {FRAM (F/Photometric Robotic Atmospheric Monitor) is a robotic telescope operated
at the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina for the purposes of atmospheric monitoring using
stellar photometry. As a passive system which does not produce any light that could interfere
with the observations of the fluorescence telescopes of the observatory, it complements the active
monitoring systems that use lasers. We discuss the applications of stellar photometry for atmospheric
monitoring at optical observatories in general and the particular modes of operation employed
by the Auger FRAM. We describe in detail the technical aspects of FRAM, the hardware and
software requirements for a successful operation of a robotic telescope for such a purpose and their
implementation within the FRAM system.},
