Description
In July 2025 the initial build of a quarter camera (QCAM-i) designed for the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) Small Sized Telescope (SST) was tested on Tenerife, Canary Islands. This was the first field test of the camera hardware which will be used for the SSTs at CTAO-South in Chile. Dark field observations and trigger threshold scans were taken, which can be compared with simulated cosmic ray shower images and night-sky background trigger rates. This talk will present an update on the progress comparing data taken on Tenerife with QCAM-i with Monte Carlo simulations.
In addition, updates from the development of SSTCAM will be presented.
