Seeing Measurements at Skinakas Observatory using the DIMM method

Abstract

We present preliminary results from a study of the seeing at Skinakas Observatory in Crete, Greece. The measurements have been made during the years 2000 and 2001 using a two-aperture Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM). The results of both campaigns are extremely promising with the median seeing value being 0.''64 and 0.''69, respectively.
