Abstract—The basic principles of the development of an astroclimatic facility using commercially available standard technical solutions to allow rapid production and unlimited replication are outlined. The facility includes an equatorially-mounted \(305\) mm, \({F \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {F 8}} \right. \kern-0em} 8}\) Ritchey–Chretien telescope with a dome, cloud sensor, and an automatic weather station. The proposed device for studying the parameters of atmospheric turbulence including the altitude profile consists only of a Shack–Hartmann sensor with a \(3 \times 3\) cm subaperture. The feasibility of such an approach has been confirmed by recent studies and our numerical simulations.
