Updated 2021 July 12 results from CFHT site seeing data into this seeing paper. Latest CFHT site seeing work and results available at this location. A joint effort to apply machine learning techniques to the CFHT site seeing and image quality data is underway. The source data files for this exercise are located here.
Old updates... Deployed new exposure time calculators for all the CFHT instruments: CFHT Instrument ETC
CFHT Dome was modified with vents to aid in flushing thermal turbulence from the optical path of the telescope. In theory, the 'seeing' should improve and approach the levels of free-seeing reported by the MKAM instrument. The early indications are this is happening. Early Vented Seeing Data Cassandra 1.2.6 cluster is operational running KairosDB for time-series data: target data is the atmospheric and sky conditions data set
