[edit] Grammar
Does "seeing" really refer to the problem of atmospheric disturbance, or is "seeing" a qualitative term, i.e. "good seeing" or "bad seeing", which can be affected by the atmospheric conditions? This article suggests the former, but the latter seems to make more sense in English. 143.252.80.110 16:11, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
Well the latter was my dim recollection, but then I didn't talk to real (optical) astronomers that often. Linuxlad 19:06, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
Both forms are widely used. Rnt20 19:26, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
- Well, I guess that's fairly authoritative Dr Tubbs :-) Can I suggest we use the more intuitive form (as in poor seeing) at the introduction of articles at least. Bob aka Linuxlad
[edit] Inconsistency
There's an inconsistency in the article - atmospheric seeing and astronomical seeing are used interchangeably without explanation - both terms should be explained at the start then one used throughout, but I'm not sure which is the more common term. I was under the impression in was "atmospheric seeing", but the article seems to redirect both to astronomical. ChowRiit (talk) 08:21, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
