A new technique called shift-and-add, which allows nearly diffraction-limited images to be formed of objects viewed through a randomly distorted, turbulent media, has been formulated. True images may be obtained through the earth’s atmosphere when the method is used. It has been shown that this can be achieved even though the telescope may have severe aberration and when using a much wider bandwidth than that used at present in stellar Speckle Interferometry. Results are given for an object of greater extent than simple binary or groups of point sources.
