Resumen:
We present the current status of the MASTER-ICATE cameras, installed in the OAFA observatory (Observatorio Felix Aguilar) in San Juan, Argentina. MASTER-ICATE is composed by two VWF (very-wide field) cameras covering >700 square degrees in the sky, including an automatic roof, a web-camera and a Boltwood cloud sensor. We show the climate statistics corresponding to 6 months of observation, the last results published (Astronomers Telegrams and GCN circulars) obtained with the cameras, and discuss some possible improvements of the instrument. Finally we also present different research projects at ICATE using the cameras.
