Astronomical seeing is the atmospheric angular blurring of a point-source image, usually reported in arcseconds. Operationally it is commonly characterized by the full width at half maximum of a long-exposure stellar point spread function. The full observed width can also contain telescope and instrumental contributions; the atmospheric seeing is the turbulence contribution.
