Hope it is interesting - it seems that short term fluctuations of around 0.2 pixels or more (or about 0.4 arcsec FWHM) are common, which is a fair bit really. Regards ray

edit: none of this data is normalised to remove the effect of elevation on seeing.
Isn't this just the autoguiding log graphed? In which case it looks a lot like a PEC curve. So how do you extract the seeing from the PE?
I know Pempro has a calculation to do this. I am not sure what it would be other than its probably the outliers in otherwise repeating pattern.
