Dear list participants, Can anyone give a good reference for irradiation? I remember the issue was raised few times on this list, but using the search engine I could not find much. CelNav books I have don't even mention this word. (Neither my Encyclopaedia Britannica (1960!) does). I am even not sure whether this phenomenon belongs to optics or to psychology/perception/physiology:-) Typing "irradiation" in the Google also returns millions of sights irrelevant to optics and perception:-) On the other hand, my measurements of the index correction from the Sun, sometimes give some error which I cannot explain. Alex.
