“…As designed for AST3 to run at Dome A, everything for the operation, from observation planning to data reduction, had to be fully automated. To do so, CODS communicates, through MAIN, to the telescope via a native software that actually drives the telescope (Li et al 2012a;Li & Wang 2013), takes exposures with CCD, distributes raw images to ARRAY for permanently storage and to PIPE for real-time photometry, and sends transit candidates and alerts back to NAOC to display on a web page for further confirmation and decisions on follow-up observations. A more detailed description of the survey automation and data reduction can be found in Ma et al (2020b).…”

Dome A in Antarctica has been demonstrated to be the best site on earth for optical, infrared, and terahertz astronomical observations by more and more evidence, such as excellent free-atmosphere seeing, extremely low perceptible water vapor, low sky background, and continuous dark time, etc. In this paper, we present a complete picture of the development of astronomy at Dome A from the very beginning, review recent progress in time-domain astronomy, demonstrate exciting results of the site testing, and address the challenges in instrumentation. Currently proposed projects are briefly discussed.

In this paper we describe a hexapod-based telescope mount system intended to provide sidereal tracking for the Fly's Eye Camera project -an upcoming moderate, 21′′ /pixel resolution all-sky survey. By exploiting such a kind of meter-sized telescope mount, we get a device which is both capable of compensating for the apparent rotation of the celestial sphere and the same design can be used independently from the actual geographical location. Our construction is the sole currently operating hexapod telescope mount performing dedicated optical imaging survey with a sub-arcsecond tracking precision.
