The Evryscopes are a set of rapid-cadence, gigapixel-scale telescopes. Each instrument contains an array of up to 24 camera units, each consisting of a 6.1 cm (2.4 in) telescope (85 mm Rokinon DSLR lens) paired to a thermoelectrically cooled astronomical CCD. The camera units are arranged around a solid fiberglass structure to form a continuous field of view of 9216 sq. deg.[1]

The first instrument (Evryscope-South) was deployed in May 2015 to Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, where it is co-located with the PROMPT Telescopes.[1] The second instrument (Evryscope-North) was deployed in October 2018 to Mount Laguna Observatory.[2]

Evryscope-South is funded by NSF/ATI and NSF/CAREER and was designed and built at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[1] Evryscope-North is funded in collaboration with San Diego State University.

The Argus Array Pathfinder a technological successor with 38 camera will start operations in October 2022 at North Carolina with hopes of paving the way for definite Argus Array with a total of 900 cameras by 2025 which should replace the CCD technology with MOSFET detectors.[3][4]
