Aurora, often called as northern light, is the only upper atmospheric phenomenon that can be seen by naked eyes or cameras, and the all-sky TV camera (ASC) is one of the ground-based instruments for optic aurora study. The Zhongshan ASC has been operating during austral winter since 1995, and all data set except 1996 has been recorded.
