Pickering Seeing Scale
Pickering Seeing Scale
Si tratta di una simulazione in cui una stellina, osservata tramite un rifrattore da 13 cm di apertura, viene deformata dalla turbolenza atmosferica in misura differente, collocandosi nelle categorie discrete della scala di Pickering.

Anche se la figura di Airy risulta diversa da telescopio a telescopio, rende un'idea di come valutare la bonta' del seeing.
Pickering 1 rating - Very Poor.
(1.) Star image 2x the diameter of the 3rd diffraction ring - Star image 13" in diameter.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pickering 2 rating - Very Poor.
(2.) Star image occasionally 2x the diameter of the 3rd ring.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pickering 3 rating - Poor to Very Poor.
(3.) Star image about the same diameter as the 3rd ring (6.7") and brighter at the centre.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pickering 4 rating - Poor.
(4.) Airy disk often visible. Arcs of diffraction rings sometimes seen.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pickering 5 rating - Fair.
(5.) Airy disk always visible. Arcs frequently seen.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pickering 6 rating - Fair to Good.
(6.) Airy disk always visible. Short arcs constantly seen.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pickering 7 rating - Good.
(7.) Disk sometimes sharply defined. Diffraction rings seen as long arcs or complete circles.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pickering 8 rating - Good to Excellent.
(8.) Disk always sharply defined. Rings seen as long arcs/complete circles, always in motion.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pickering 9 rating - Excellent.
(9.) Inner diffraction ring stationary. Outer rings occasionally stationary.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pickering 10 rating - Excellent/Perfect.
(10.) The complete diffraction pattern is stationary.

Per questo scappo a Roseto per l'hi-res...
Ciao!
Ancora sulla Pickering seeing scale
Questa scala la conoscevo, ma qui vista in dinamico è
molto esaustiva.
