Astronomical Seeing at Maidanak Observatory during the Year 2018

Astronomical Seeing at Maidanak Observatory during the Year 2018

Results of a four-month campaign of astronomical seeing measurements at Maidanak astronomical observatory (MAO) are presented. A differential image motion monitor (DIMM) was used for seeing estimations during the period from August to November 2018. The observation was organized within the framework...

A differential image motion monitor (DIMM) was used for seeing estimations during the period from August to November 2018. The observation was organized within the framework of a site testing for a new telescope which is going to be installed at the observatory. The median value of seeing for the entire period was determined as 0.70 arcseconds, which agrees well with the results of the period 1996–2003. The comparison of monthly values showed that some monthly median values differ from the seasonal trend of the previous period.https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4434/9/2/38astronomical seeingterrestrial atmosphereoptical turbulencedifferential image motion monitor
