Hey everyone,
just went past the below article about atmospheric effects (extinction and seeing ) and how they affect seeing conditions and thought it was quiet interesting. Nothing new but it's good to go back and reflect on the science behind things from time to time :)

Interesting link and must read for newbies. Just dont get scared off by the math near the start.

Actually...editing the Html link (http://spiff.rit.edu/classes/) brings up lots more Physics & Astronomy stuff that some may find interesting.
