Here's an interesting polar plot that shows seeing versus wind direction.
Northerly and easterly components are generally bad for seeing. Southwest is
the most common, and it's good.

That requies a 2mm eyepiece in a Pronto! 10mm eyepiece and a 5x Powermate? I
once looked through my Pronto at 500x using a 4.8mm Nagler and the Powermate.
It was the largest perfect star disc I had ever seen, with an apparent size of
about half that of the Full Moon.
