Title: will be set by the publisher Editors: will be set by the publisher EAS Publications Series, Vol.?, 2010 PHOTOMETRIC QUALITY OF DOME C FOR THE WINTER 2008 FROM ASTEP SOUTH
Planets in the South pole field, from the Concordia station, Dome C, Antarctica. The instrument consists of a thermalized 10 cm refractor observing a fixed 3.88 ◦ x 3.88 ◦ field of view to perform photometry of several thousand stars at visible wavelengths (700-900 nm).
