Techniques developed during the last few decades to overcome atmospheric image degradation (including passive methods, speckle interferometry in particular, and active methods such as adaptive optics), are highlighted. Also discussed are high resolution sensors, image processing, and the astronomical results obtained with these techniques.Imaging systems in astronomyTelescopesElectronic books.Imaging systems in astronomy.Telescopes.522/.2Saha Swapan K951716MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450719803321Diffraction-limited imaging with large and moderate telescopes2151517UNINA
