Is there a way to obtain the numerical values for the transmission curves that you publish at the House of Outdoors? For example, 5 nm spacing in Excel format? Of course, I'd be happy to credit you/them as the data source.
Ed, post 23,
Of course you can read the values form the curves in the old fashioned way, taking a ruler measure the value and use a calculator. Works good, but takes a little time. In the meantime I will approach my colleague who has all the digital files and who is on vacation right now, so patience is a wonderful thing...It will probably somewhere in August that he is back....And I promise to think about your request while camping myself on one of the most beautiful islands in this universe. Are you also the Ed who asked for a reprint of one of my oxygen radical studies? If so I can try to extract that also from my own files (I do not have it in a digital form, but it can be copied).

I think having the spectral transmission curves in machine readable format on site would be really useful - one can use them to do comparative simulations of views thru the glass.

At this point, I'd be most interested in a few (maybe three) spectra that are decidedly non-flat, like the Meopta Meostar shown below, which I borrowed from an earlier post. The more the shapes differ the better.
If possible, I'd also like to know your assessment of the "Day/Night" values and color bias is they are available.
Ed, post 29,
We will select some spectra, which fulfill your wishes, but as I wrote: my colleague is on vacation riht now for 4-5 weeks and he guards the spectra in his backup system and in that time I can not reach them. How can I send them to you when he is back: ordinary mail, e-mail ????
