Observation of Star-Pair Images for Estimation of Isoplanatic Patch Size in the Atmosphere

Abstract

An experiment is described which attempts to measure the isoplanatic patch size of the atmosphere as a function of various parameters. Technique constraints and the data analysis procedures used are described and results are discussed. It is shown that the constraints in data collection impaired the data analysis and prevented a measurement of the isoplanatic patch size. Recommendations are given for getting better data in the future.
