Sky Brightness Monitor (SBM):<br />

a very small externally<br />

occulted coronagraph<br />

6 SBM were built for the ATST site testing.<br />

Using a SBM @ Dome C allows a direct<br />

comparison between the best classical<br />

coronagraphic sites and Dome C <br />

The occulter includes a neutral<br />

density (ND5 at Dome C) in the<br />

center of the external occulter to<br />

image the attenuated solar disk.<br />

9 0-rings reduce the amplitude<br />

of the diffraction ring in the<br />

image plane.<br />
