F/(Ph)otometric Robotic Atmospheric Monitor is one of the atmospheric monitoring instruments at the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina. FRAM is an optical telescope equipped with CCD cameras and it automatically observes a set of selected standard stars. FRAM observations are used to obtain the wavelength dependence of the light extinction. FRAM telescope is also able to observe secondary...
