Data from the CONtinuous CAMera (CONCAM, http://concam.net) sky monitors can be used to measure all-sky extinction at remote observing sites. Milestones that must be crossed to obtain such full-sky extinction maps are discussed, including software and hardware for the KPNO and pending Pierre Auger CONCAMs. The scientific usefulness of such extinction data is discussed. A preliminary extinction map of the sky above Kitt Peak National Observatory on one night as determined from CONCAM data is presented and discussed.
