Abstract
In order to further the statistics of the seeing conditions at the South Pole station in Antarctica the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and the Australian National University (ANU) have installed a fully automated Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor as part of their site testing campaign in Antarctica. This instrument uses a differential motion technique across an array of sub-apertures in order to calculate the seeing. We present the results taken in 2001 as well as an analysis of the time variation of this parameter.
