Scientific paper

Measurements are presented of lens-atmosphere modulation transfer functions for short-exposure speckle imaging at the AMOS observatory in Maui, Hawaii. Star images were recorded with a video sensor system and processed digitally. Near-diffraction-limited modulation transfer functions were recorded and analyzed for a 122 cm aperture instrument during fair to poor seeing conditions. Mean values for the aperture wave-front correlation scale ranged between 4.1 and 6.4 cm. Total projected rms image wander ranged from 0.2 to 1.1 arcsec.
