Abstract

We present results of daytime site testing at Dome C in summer 2003–2004. Daytime seeing has been monitored during 2$\frac{1}{2}$ months using a DIMM on the bright star Canopus, giving median value of 0.54 arcsec. An every-day best seeing period has been observed around 5 pm with seeing around 0.3 arcsec. First isoplanatic angle measurements, based on stellar scintillation, were also performed during the month of January 2004, and have given median value of 6.8 arcsec.
