“…The greatest success of the experiment, but also of the real-time pipeline for OTs was automatic discovery of the optical transient from GRB080319B [6]. Another interesting event was automatic identification of outburst of flare star CN Leo ( λ = 10 h 56 m 29 s , δ = +7 o 01' on 2005.04.02 1:13:40 UT [18]. There were a few events which were observed on 2 consecutive 10s images, but only by a single camera ( second one was not working then ).…”

Real-time analysis of data from optical telescopes becomes very important topic in the modern astronomy. Particularly interesting and important is fast automatic identification of short optical transients. Many violent and interesting processes occur on very short timescales. Such kind of processes may be related to gamma-ray bursts, but there are also other interesting processes in the short time regime. One of the biggest problems with their investigation is fast detection and distribution, which would allow deeper studies in the most interesting phase of the event. Thus development of real-time pipelines for identification of optical transients is a very hot topic. Another issue which becomes important is that data streams produced by modern astronomical experiments becomes larger and larger, which requires real-time analysis and pre-selection of only most interesting data. We present implementation of such a pipeline dedicated to identification of optical transients in the "Pi of the Sky" experiment.

The "Pi of the Sky" project is an attempt to create frilly autonomous system for detection and analysis of optical flashes in the sky at the time scale of seconds, which are connected with gamma ray burst (GRB). This paper presents briefly the "Pi of the Sky" observing strategy. Test toolkits for schedule scripts and sky scans is described. Application of web services technology for data analysis in the experiment is discussed.
