Abstract :
Speckle imaging technique is one of the several effective approaches, which can overcome atmosphere turbulence effects to improve resolution power of the ground-based telescope. It has been widely used in the astronomical observation research. The observation experiments using this technique have been made on 1.56-m telescope with an EMCCD speckle camera at SHAO. Results are presented from a series of experiments including binary stars and simulated satellite. A brief overview of the image reconstruction algorithm is presented. The results confirm that speckle imaging techniques can be used with an EMCCD imaging system to provide a powerful and flexible method for imaging objects of moderate magnitude.
