Abstract
The release of military technology in the adaptive optics (AO) and laser beacons fields [1] motivated the astronomical community to become actively involved in its implementation in astronomical sites all around the world. Unfortunately, even with the impressive gain in resolution these systems provide, high-resolution imaging from ground-based telescopes is still far from ideal. Traditional speckle interferometry techniques and post-processing data reduction are probably the only viable way to obtain approximated diffraction-limited images. This work describes the application of a posteriori processing to both AO compensated and uncompensated data and shows the improvement that can be achieved.
