The sky brightness and transparency in i-band at Dome A, Antarctica
The i-band observing conditions at Dome A on the Antarctic plateau have been investigated using data acquired during 2008 with the Chinese Small Telescope ARray (CSTAR). The sky brightness, atmospheric extinction, cloud coverage and auroral appearance are obtained from these images. The median sky b...
