Whose idea was concam?
A. The idea of monitoring the night sky is as old as recorded history. Specifically this concam project came out of conversations between Robert J. Nemiroff and J. Bruce Rafert. Each of us were influenced by previous events and people. RJN was influenced by the existence of all-sky monitors in the gamma-ray band (like CGRO’s BATSE), existing sky patrol projects like LOTIS, conversations with Bohdan Paczynski and Christ Ftaclas, and his own public outreach efforts like the Astronomy Picture of the Day.
