CCD images of R136 taken through V and I filters in excellent seeing have been sharpened using maximum entropy methods to provide spatial detail with a resolution of about 0.4 arc sec. The brightest component, R136a(1), has an absolute magnitude of -8.3 which is fainter than previously measured due to a more accurate estimate of the contribution of close stars and the background. Several previously unseen components have been found. These observations lend weight to the view that R136 is the partially resolved core of NGC 2070 and as such, consists of massive and luminous, but normal, early type stars.
