Night Sky Background (NSB) is a complex phenomenon, consisting of all light detected by
Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) not attributable to Cherenkov light emission.
Understanding the effect of NSB on cameras for the next-generation Cherenkov Telescope Array
(CTA) is important, as it affects the systematic errors on observations, the energy threshold, the
thermal control of the cameras and the ability of the telescopes to operate under partial moonlight
conditions. This capacity to observe under partial moonlight conditions is crucial for the CTA
transient science programme, as it substantially increases the potential observing time. Using
tools initially developed for H.E.S.S. (in combination with the prototype CTA analysis package
ctapipe) we will present predictions for the NSB present in images taken by the CTA Small Sized
Telescope Camera (SSTCAM), showing that SSTCAM will likely be able to meet the associated
CTA requirements. Additionally, we calculate the potential observing time gain by operating
under high NSB conditions.
