Preliminary Report on Optical Seeing Tests at Mt. Lemmon, March - June 1971One of the Lick Observatory Polaris telescopes was used to test seeing conditions at Mt. Lemmon. The preliminary results indicate that the seeing is not unlike that at Kitt Peak. Soundings of the air flow patterns across Mt. Lemmon under winter conditions were also made by flying smoke pots on tethered ballons to elevations of 500 feet. There does not appear to be any serious local turbulence.
