Seeing

Seeing .conditions .refers .to .the .stability .of .the .atmosphere .and .directly .affects .the .amount .of .fine .detail .
seen .in .extended .objects. .The .air .in .our .atmosphere .acts .as .a .lens .which .bends .and .distorts .incoming .
light . rays. . The . amount . of . bending . depends . on . air . density. . Varying . temperature . layers . have . different .
densities .and, .therefore, .bend .light .differently. .Light .rays .from .the .same .object .arrive .slightly .displaced .
creating .an .imperfect .or .smeared .image. .These .atmospheric .disturbances .vary .from .time-to-time .and .
place-to-place. .The .size .of .the .air .parcels .compared .to .your .aperture .determines .the .“seeing” .quality. .
Under .good .seeing .conditions, .fine .detail .is .visible .on .the .brighter .planets .like .Jupiter .and .Mars, .and .
stars .are .pinpoint .images. .Under .poor .seeing .conditions, .images .are .blurred .and .stars .appear .as .blobs. .

The .conditions .described .here .apply .to .both .visual .and .photographic .observations.

Seeing conditions directly affect image quality. These drawing represent a point
source (i.e., star) under bad seeing conditions (left) to excellent conditions (right).
Most often, seeing conditions produce images that lie some where between these
two extremes.

Bad

Excellent
