To an ignorant troll perhaps. But like all useless trolls that know nothing about astronomy nor photography, trolls who also know nothing about meteorology nor how land cools off and heats up quicker with larger thermal contrasts (compared to large bodies of water), they can't comprehend how this huge contrast in thermal energies are fed into the atmosphere directly above the land .This huge thermal turmoil occurring twice during each diurnal period is what causes most of the bad seeing conditions for the required purposes. Flying out to any appreciable distance over the ocean in a sail-plane is certain death for the pilot for the exact same reasons. On a smaller scale, this too is why you should never peer through a telescope from inside a house that is aimed through an open window. The thermal contrast between indoor and outdoor temperatures as the air is exchanged between the two robs your telescope of most of its resolving power. And is also why observatories are never heated where the telescope resides. My own 16" diameter telescope mirror can take up to 3 hours to reach very good thermal equilibrium before the rising or sinking air in the telescope tube dies down enough for more perfect seeing conditions. (Day vs. night temperatures dependent.) Your post is a worthy display of a perfect example of what ignorance means. Post some more just like it. (As you will do and have done so often.) I don't believe your fellow trolls have quite caught on to what ignorance means. Perhaps they can learn from you by example. (A troll learn? To be honest, I typed that for my own hearty-laugh benefit.)

One wanders why you're posting as an unidentified troll from a well known troll site, instead of working in Chile. Ah yes: there are no "observatories" in florida... BWAHAHAHA! > resides. My own 16" diameter telescope mirror can take up to 3 hours to You're confusing the mirror in your bathroom with a telescope mirror. Careful: the aliens you're seeing are actually your nose hairs... > Your post is a worthy display of a perfect example of what ignorance means. Your post is a perfect example of crass, ignorant trolling.
