Star Seen Through Atmosphere
Caption:
Stellar images taken by James R. Graham of the University of California, Berkeley with the IRCAL, a near infrared camera--on the Lick Observatory 3m.
This research was conducted at the Center for Adaptive Optics (CfAO) at the University of California Santa Cruz, a National Science Foundation-supported Science and Technology Center. The center researches AO in the fields of vision science and astronomy to remove the effects of image blurring through turbulent media. Applications include astronomical telescopes, laser guide stars, wavefront sensing, MEMS technology, and retinal imaging.
