Abstract
The near-IR sky emission properties above Dome C are still poorly known. They are currently estimated using numerical models or extrapolations of the South Pole data. We present a simple device that would start a monitoring of the sky background in the K-short and K-dark bands, in Summer 2004-5. These data will be essential for the definition of the specifications of future wide field telescopes and interferometers at CONCORDIA.
