[submitted] allsky: Estimate atmospheric transparency via photometry with PASI at Eureka/PEARL, compare to other sites

allsky performs photometry of Polaris with the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory (PEARL) All-Sky Camera (PASI) to report transparency measurements, with comparison to conditions at other observatories worldwide. The code site provides a tarfile of PASI data obtained near Eureka, on Ellesmere Island Canada in darktime of 2008/09 and 2009/10 along with associated meteorological data. The code employs a simple atmospheric thermal inversion model, with a power-law fit to ice-crystal attenuation, allowing direct comparison of PEARL dark-time photometric-sky statistics to mid-latitude sites such as Maunakea.
