Progress and Results from the Chinese Small Telescope ARray (CSTAR)
Abstract In 2008 January the 24th Chinese expedition team successfully deployed the Chinese Small Telescope ARray (CSTAR) to Dome A, the highest point on the Antarctic plateau. CSTAR consists of four 14.5cm optical telescopes, each with a different filter ( g , r , i and open) and has a 4.5°×4.5° fi...
