Roll deconvolution is a speckle method that can improve the resolution of the 2.4-m Hubble Space Telescope (HST) at short UV wavelengths. A diffraction-limited image can be digitally reconstructed from two aberration-degraded images recorded at two different roll angles of the HST. The reconstruction is performed by complex inverse filtering of the two degraded images. The authors show optical-digital simulations that illustrate how the signal-to-noise ratio of the reconstruction depends on photon noise, on the structure of the point-spread function and on other parameters. The roll deconvolution technique can be applied to HST data recorded with the ƒ/288-mode of the Faint Object Camera. At λ = 140 nm a resolution of 0arcsec.015 can be obtained.
