Rob DIMM tests are well described in the paper presented by Bert. Basically a DIMM takes readings through a telescope (in our case it was a 10" SCT), these readings are placed through software which makes an assessment to how steady the seeing is at any one point in time. Our societies instrument officer came and measured Clayton because the society is looking for a site of our 36" project. Searching sites all over SA will give us an idea of where to place the scope in the end and it helped to quantify our seeing.
Kaputah was used several times for viewing camps in the mid to late 80's too Gary. Did you ever go to these camps?
