The article presents statistics of the astronomical seeing at the Maidanak Observatory in Uzbekistan. Astronomical seeing measurements were performed using a differential image motion monitor. In the period 2018 to 2021, a total number of 204 night observations were carried out. The median zenith seeing for the entire period of observations was found to be 0.69″ (arcseconds). The results were compared with those obtained in the previous measurement period of 1996 to 2003. The comparison shows very small differences between the two measurement sets in the monthly and yearly median values. The best seeing was observed in October, but it was November according to the previous measurements. The best year in terms of seeing was 2019 with its median value 0.65″ and the worst seeing observed in 2021 (0.71″).
