A non-telescopic method of determining the quality of atmospheric seeing is discussed for large angular diameter objects, such as the sun. In this method the concept of thermodynamic fluctuations is used to relate the observed intensity fluctuations to the r.m.s. angular diameter of the atmospheric seeing cells and telescopic angle of arrival fluctuations. Comparison between the measured r.m.s. cell size and telescopic angle of arrival fluctuations are presented for various degrees of seeing. Cross-correlation coefficients of 0.95 have been measured during such comparisons.
