Scientific paper

We describe a compact integrated module implementing a low-cost portable adaptive optica (AO) system. This module is targeted to a small amateur telescope with the primary mirror diameter in the range of 25 cm to 1 m. The first tests with a 25 cm telescope have demonstrated a stable closed-loop operation and correction of aberrations using natural guide star with a magnitude of 2.2. To our knowledge this is the smallest adaptive optical telescope ever operated with the AO loop closed on a natural star. Apart from astronomy, the system is applicable as a general-purpose AO system for correction of static and dynamic aberrations in laser systems and in some vision applications.
