TL;DR
This study reports on the median astronomical seeing at Maidanak Observatory in 2018, using DIMM measurements, and compares it with historical data from 1996-2002 to assess atmospheric stability.
Contribution
It provides updated seeing measurements for 2018 and compares them with past data to analyze long-term atmospheric conditions at Maidanak Observatory.
Findings
Median seeing in 2018 was 0.54 arcseconds
Seeing conditions are comparable to those from 1996-2002
Data aids in understanding atmospheric stability over time
Abstract
Astronomical seeing measurements were carried out at Maidanak observatory during the period from August to November 2018 using DIMM (Differential Image Motion Monitor). The median value of seeing for the entire period was determined as 0.54 arcseconds. This value was compared to the seeing data of the period 1996-2002.
