  16. PALAO Performance

  17. PALAO Results

  18. PALAO Results QS Aql (HR 7486) Binary Star with 0.185" Separation AO Loop Open FWHM = 1.2" AO Loop Closed FWHM = 0.097" (Strehl = 20%)

  19. PALAO Results Trapezium Cluster in the Orion Nebula The left image was taken with the AO system off; the seeing was about 1 arcsec. With the AO system locked on Theta 1 Ori C (brightest star), the stellar images were about 0.2" across, with the brightest stars saturated. Each image is represents approximately 40 arcsec x 40 arcsec field.
