How do I calculate my local seeing?

Hi Guys.

I'm in the process of upgrading all my gear. I've just upgraded the mount and I have an SBIG STF3800m camera on the way. I'm looking at upgrading my scope as well at some point but I need to calculate my local seeing so I can match that to my imager and get the optimal resolution.

Another reason I want to know this is because my new mount has a PE is 35, 11 after PEC and I'll likely need to by a new worm to get it guiding properly if I dont send it back. If my seeing is as I suspect pretty bad (7.5Km from Syd cbd) then I dont need get my mount pe down past a certain level. I'm looking at either a new worm or a TDM. I'd like to crunch the numbers before i decide what path to go down as a TDM may be over kill for my seeing.

Or do I have all this backwards.
