Abstract : Estimation of the atmospheric coherence diameter (popularly known as the Fried’s parameter) is of paramount importance in characterizing any site. The possibility of estimating it from long exposure H-alpha telescope data has been previously demonstrated [1]. The large statistics of estimated values of Fried’s parameter from archival data from Merak H-alpha telescope is presented.
