Hi guys.
Brendan has kindly submitted an article with some scales for seeing and transparency. Often a lot of us just make a guess as to the seeing or transparency, and some of the new folk might not even know what the difference is.
Well this article should explain it.
It's also a good idea in practise if we all endeavour to use a common scale for these, as it will also help during the Monthly Observing Challenge, being launched soon.
The Antoniadi scale for seeing is good, I just wish it was numbered the other way around, with V. being the best instead of I. Oh well
How To Determine Seeing and Transparency
A lot of people have their own method, of course this may not be for everyone, but if you currently don't have a defined way of measuring, then this may be for you.
Thanks Brendan for contributing the article.
