To do this we look at the large-n asymptotic behaviour of the perturbation series in order to estimate the contribution of the as-yet uncalculated terms in the series. We find no evidence for the previously reported Lambda^2 contribution to the gluon condensate. Attempting to determine the conventional Lambda^4 condensate gives a value of approximately 0.03(2) GeV^4, in reasonable agreement with sum rule estimates, though with very large uncertainties.Latex, 3 pages, 5 figures.
