Abstract

It is well known that the use of a bright natural star as a reference source is limited by the angle of isoplanarity1,2,3 which usually does not exceed 10 angular seconds, while the sufficiency bright stars are located less closely. In this connection in recent years the formation technique of artificial guide stars is gathering force, based on the effect of laser backscattering in the atmosphere4,5.
