Abstract
ABSTRACT A 62-cm active optics telescope model with a Shack-Hartmann wavefront analyzer was used to measure the mirror seeing effect. The degradation of the imaging quality due to the generation of microthermal convection was quantitatively evaluated from diurnal monitoring measurements over 90 days and nights. The dependence of mirror seeing on the temperature difference between the mirror and the ambient air and the effect of flushing flow to blow away the microthermal turbulence were measured.
