Abstract

In 1994 December we installed a Celestron CG11 Telescope at Belgrano Base (previously called Belgrano II) for site seeing measurements and variable star observations. We describe the project, logistics, installation and working environment. We present the first quantitative observations of astronomical seeing conditions at Belgrano Base.
