A sodium guide star has been used to sense and correct atmospheric aberration during two runs at the Multiple Mirror Telescope (MMT). For the first run in 1993 May, the artificial star was created by...
Infrared adaptive optics system for the 6.5 m MMT: system status and prototype results (2007)
Lloyd-Hart Angel, R. Angel, D. Sandler, T. Barrett, P. Mcguire, T Rhoadarmer, ...
The Multiple Mirror Telescope (MMT) is now being replaced by a single 6.5 m telescope 1 which will have an integral adaptive optics system optimized for near infrared operation. We illustrate key...
