Magnier Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas methods site testing miscellaneous observational instrumentation All Sky Cameras were deployed at all Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) candidate sites to gather images for assessing the cloud statistics and light pollution. We developed two methods to assess clouds, a manual method based on inspection of blue and red movies, and an automated method based on photometric analysis of the images. We developed a light pollution analysis procedure and find that light pollution at the candidate sites is currently unimportant for TMT site selection. 2011 artículo científico 0185-1101 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57120784021 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=571 Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica (México) Vol.41
