Abstract

A new method has recently been developed to obtain the Fried's parameter from observations of granulation outsude the disk centre, based on the different degradation suffered by the images on the directions parallel and perpendicular to the solar limb, due to the geometrical foreshortening. This procedure has been applied to CCD images obtained at the Swedish Solar Tower of the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, with satisfactory results which are presented and discussed.
