Abstract

In optical astronomy, images are highly degraded by atmospheric turbulence. The diameter of the seeing disk may vary from 0.2 arcseconds to 10 arcseconds or more according to weather conditions. A typical diameter is of the order of 2 arcseconds which is the angular resolution of a 6cm lens at the diffraction limit.
