Info page from Damian Peach

Just came across this page, the thing I noticed is that he says that a temperature difference of 0.5C will cause visible problems from thermal effects. I can say from first hand that this is correct but this is the first time I've found someone else saying the same thing :-)

Thanks Anthony.

It's amazing what a slight difference in temp makes.

Cheers Bird! There's some excellent reading here. It's a pity he hasn't actually tried to simulate temp effects as he has most other factors.

Did you see the Saturn pic on jis home page C14 and Lumenera - I swear the Hubble would struggle to equal it

cheers,

Thanks Bird very informative. There is a Solar observatory somewhere in the US?in the middle of a large lake to minimise solar radiation causing air currents. I vaguely remember reading about it many years ago.
