Abstract
One of the factors which limits the performance of a NGS AO system is the brightness of available stars. This, when combined with a requirement for a high sky coverage and a moderate Strehl ratio (see Table 1), means that reference stars up to about 1.5 arcmin from the science object have to be used.
