Abstract
Experiments on the improvement of images of artificial Earth satellites are performed via the methods of digital postdetection filtering in the case when a telescope with an aperture diameter of approximately 1 m is employed to observe extended objects. The resolution obtained in white-light observations is three times higher than the atmosphere-limited resolution. The results of calibration of the processing method with the use of speckle images of a single star are presented. Photographs of recorded and recovered images of the International Space Station and Saturn are presented.
