Sky Brightness Evaluation at Concordia Station, Dome C, Antarctica
The evaluation of sky characteristics plays a fundamental role for many astrophysical experiments and ground-based observations. In solar physics, the main requirement for such observations is a very low sky brightness value, less than 10 − 6 $10^{-6}$ of the solar disk brightness ( B ⊙ $mathrm{B}_{odot }$ ). Few places match such a requirement for
