     Right, so it'll be you with your 14-inch or whatever at some
medium-high power that you would always make these estimates with.
     Actually, seeing estimates won't vary as much as you think
since the general blur you get with larger apertures is replaced
by bulk image-motion at smaller apertures (and the small-aperture 
observers should include image-motion in the seeing estimate, which
I think was discussed when went through this last time).
