It is shown how the technique of astronomical speckle holography is dependent upon the degree of isoplanicity between the object and the discrete point source. A well-calibrated measurement of the degree of correlation between two quasi-instantaneous simultaneous point source speckle patterns (separation = 2.6 arcsec) are presented to illustrate this nonisoplanatic effect as a function of the spatial frequency. This two-dimensional measurement is in qualitative agreement with previously computed models and shows a high degree of correlation at seeing-dominated frequencies with a severe attenuation (but not total loss of correlation) for frequencies approaching the diffraction limit. It is shown how such measurements may be used to reweight (calibrate) the Fourier amplitude of a speckle holographic image observed under similar seeing conditions in order to compensate for the nonisoplanatic degradation at high spatial frequencies.
