Experimental Results of a Low-Order Adaptive Optics Experiment on the Starfire 3.5m Telescope

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

An experiment with a nasmyth adaptive optics system mounted on the SOR 3.5m telescope is described. The 183 actuator mirror allows only partial compensation in the near IR, and the imagery is enhanced by postprocessing methods. We describe the system design, and evaluate the performance based on long-to-short exposure SNR ratio metrics.
