Has anyone here used equipment at CONCORDIA station at the Antarctica. (3200 m)

This site has some interesting equipment and telescope support structures.
Brings new meaning to a dark site.

FYI

The Astro-Physics mounts were a special run, and were supplied and installed by A-P's French dealer.

Due the extreme cold, the bearings and gears don't have any lubricants.

Yep, But the views would be nice.
