Experimental results are presented indicating a causal effect between exposure time of the detection system and variations in measured differential stellar image motion. The variability is also dependent on atmospheric winds encountered along the entire propagation path at the precise time of measurement, making explicit comparison of experimental results with theory impractical. Earlier theoretical development is recast in terms of Fried's seeing parameter, r 0 , and collected data are tested for conformance to stationarity criteria. It is recommended that atmospheric turbulence seeing monitors based on differential image motion measurements be restricted to exposure times of not more than 2 ms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
