Abstract

Regarding its seeing properties or its photometric quality aswell, the Dome C Concordia site is presented as being anintermediate solution between space and a good mountainobservatory. This statement still needs somewhat further nighttime confirmation. If really true, as is more and more expectedafter the preliminary site testing campaigns (Aristidi etal. 2004; Storey et al. 2004), thisopens extremely promising prospects for asteroseismology ofsolar-type stars, and also of any kind of star for which acontinuous observation much longer than 12 hours is an importantrequirement.
