Hi Ray,

Thanks for the explanation! I understand that I'm heavily undersampled at 3.5"/pixel. Even if it's not a truly useful measure in my case, do the values I've quoted (which are actually quite typical, across my data) mean that I have reasonable seeing in my location? Mind you, I only image between 45 degrees either side of zenith. This isn't even in my control, as I've specifically told my automation software to only image between those altitudes.

As Slawomir points out, about the best you can say is that the seeing is probably better than 6 arcsec, which is not saying much. It could of course be much better than that, but by undersampling, you cannot tell.

This is one major advantage of undersampled imaging - you can get the same results whatever the seeing is like.
