Capturing short exposures of celestial objects with a ground-based telescope avoids the image blurring inherent in longer exposures due to atmospheric turbulence and rotation of the earth. Techniques for calculating the probability that any short exposure will have a phase shift of less than a square radian in a given percentage of the exposures are derived. It is shown that a selection of 10 percent of the images, recentered and added, can double the resolution if the ratio of the diameter of the main aperture/the Fried (1966) parameter for atmospheric turbulence is around 15 and also double for a selection of 1 percent of the exposures when the ratio is close to 20. Data from solar observations indicate that the resolution gains are only diffraction limited.
