The efficiency of off-axis adaptive astronomical systems is estimated for four astronomical sites: Paranal (Chili), Roque de los Muchachos (Canary Islands), San Pedro Martir (Mexico) and Observatoire de Haute Provence (France). The efficiency of interest is considered through the Strehl ratio of the corrected image calculated for V, J and K bands and for 8-m class telescopes. The experimental optical turbulence strength Cn2(z) profiles necessary for calculations have been measured with balloon flights and with the Generalized Scidar. It is found that this efficiency depends mainly on the Cn2(z) profile layered structure and on the turbulence strength.
