Scientific paper

The design and performance of a solar tracking platform specifically built to capitalize on the outstanding observing conditions available at the geographic South Pole are described. Attention is given to a description of the apparatus and the principles of operation. Results reported were obtained using a CCD camera with 260 x 260 pixels to collect full disk solar images that were integrated over 75 sec before being recorded.
