A general purpose instrument for imaging of Cherenkov light or fluorescence
light emitted by extensive air showers is presented. Its refractive optics
allows for a compact and light-weight design with a wide field-of-view of
12{\deg}. The optical system features a 0.5 m diameter Fresnel lens and a
camera with 61 pixels composed of Winston cones and large-sized 6x6 mm photo
sensors. As photo sensors, semi conductor light sensors (SiPMs) are utilized.
The camera provides a high photon detection efficiency together with robust
operation. The enclosed optics permit operation in regions of harsh
environmental conditions. The low price of the telescope allows the production
of a large number of telescopes and the application of the instrument in
various projects, such as FAMOUS for the Pierre Auger Observatory, HAWC's Eye
for HAWC or IceAct for IceCube. In this paper the novel design of this
telescope and first measurements are presented.Comment: Submitted to JINST, second (minor) revisio
