A muon telescope based on 8 water cherenkov detectors was mounted at BEO Moussala - Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy - Bulgarian Academy of Science. The telescope will be used for continuous measuring the intensity of the muon component of the cosmic rays, exploring its variations and possible correlations with environment parameters. A detailed description of the device is presented in this paper.
