I'll admit to being interested in these devices. Besides the Web page,
the only additional factoid I know is through the TASS mailing-list page
(http://stupendous.rit.edu/tass/status/status.html), where Doug Welch,
one of the designers, noted that the acceptance-angle of the detector
is a whopping 40 deg radius. So it takes in a huge amount of real estate
on the sky. Seems like half that radius (say roughly the size of the
ordinary 22-deg halo) would be more useful.
