Scientific paper
The profiles of stellar images near the zenith are measured on 57 random nights between 1975 and 1979, by employing a sequence of Coude slit widths and an exposure meter that measures the profiles in one dimension to an average internal standard error of plus or minus 0.06 arcsec. The advantages and disadvantages of this method are discussed, together with questions of seasonal variations in seeing for Kitt Peak. The results are examined, and it is determined that directional (seeing) differences occur due to local topography or to the wind direction.
