. This image is a screen capture of the full width half max of the imager array taken on February 15, 2000. The left portion of the image is simply the fwhm calculations for each of the chips in the array. On the right side is the estimated fwhm corrected for wavelength. This takes all the different filters and converts the estimated seeing as if it were in i' I believe. It is useful as a measure of the consistency of image quality across the array.

Bruce MacA Thomas 11 February 1999 Introduction In this discussion document, the antenna principles underpinning some of the concepts discussed in Ref 1 for the LF-SKA are extended to illustrate the potential difficulty of achieving constant collecting area, and hence the practical realisation of the "magic-carpet" concept. Applications to the "randomised" antenna-element approach to array-station design, and the trade-offs that need to be considered, are briefly discussed. ...
