Scientific paper

In an attempt to understand image scaling laws between large and small telescopes, image motion and profiles from 0.6 to 4.0 m in diameter are studied under seeing conditions extending from subarcsecond to several arcseconds. The theoretical aspects of using star motions to assess seeing are discussed, and a model is presented in which image motion data taken with small telescopes can be used to predict image profiles that would be measured with a 15 m class telescope. The signal-to-noise aspects of measuring seeing by image motion and small telescopes are also considered.
