Description
An imaging version of an air Cherenkov telescope for the south pole is described. Having accrued a few years experience operating an air Cherenkov prototype detector installed at the south pole, we are confident about the possibility of installing an advanced version. The final system will be formed by an array of seven identical telescopes, arranged on the corners of a hexagon and one in the center. (orig.)
