The Douglas Mawson Telescope was a proposal of ours in 2001, in collaboration with France and Italy, to build a telescope similar to PILOT at Dome C. It missed out on funding from the Australian government. At the time, the seeing conditions at Dome C were a matter of speculation, which is why we have put so much effort into obtaining the latest data.
