Subject: measuring seeing with AstroIIDC

I am trying to figure out an imaging plan (a checklist) using a specific magnitude star and AstroIIDC at the beginning of a night and then again at the end of the night, using specific settings so as to limit variables other than conditions.  That way I can come up with something a bit less subjective to use for comparison.

I plan to use the Bright Star catalogue and choose a target as close to zenith as possible to limit atmospheric variations.

I use Astroplanner to plan my observations and have the sky view set to use the Bright Star catalogue.

Any ideas?

Willie
