In this paper the authors show the effect of different seeing conditions, as parametrized by the atmospheric coherence scale r0, upon standard Labeyrie (1970) analysis for independent observations of both a resolved object and its point-source calibrator. Atmosphere-dependent effects are shown by using both models and data. The authors show how to sort the data into like-seeing bins in order to produce a calibrated-image power-spectrum estimate. They also justify using a stonger weighting of intermediate spatial frequencies in the image power-spectrum estimator when fitting physical parameters constrained by image models to characterize the object. The use of data-editing techniques to eliminate bad speckle-grams, thus improving the image power-spectrum estimate, is also discussed.
