  The possibility to observe transiting exoplanets from Dome C in Antarctica
provides immense benefits: stable weather conditions, limited atmospheric
turbulence, and a night that lasts almost three months due to the austral
winter. However, this site also presents significant limitations, such as
limited access for maintenance and internet speeds of only a few KB/s. This
latter factor means that the approximately 6 TB of data collected annually must
be processed on site automatically, with only final data products being sent
once a day to Europe. In this context, we present the current state of
operations of ASTEP+, a 40 cm optical telescope located at Concordia Station in
Antarctica. Following a successful summer campaign, ASTEP+ has begun the 2022
observing season with a brand-new two-colour photometer with increased
sensitivity. A new Python data analysis pipeline installed on a dedicated
server in Concordia will significantly improve the precision of the extracted
photometry, enabling us to get higher signal-to-noise transit detections. The
new pipeline additionally incorporates automatic transit modelling to reduce
the amount of manual post-processing required. It also handles the automatic
daily transfer of the photometric lightcurves and control data to Europe.
Additionally, we present the Python and web-based systems used for selection
and scheduling of transit observations; these systems have wide applicability
for the scheduling of other astronomical observations with strong time
constraints. We also review the type of science that ASTEP+ will be conducting
and analyse how unique ASTEP+ is to exoplanet transit research.
