The first images of an asteroid that show details on its surface have been reconstructed from speckle interferometric data obtained on November 16 and 17, 1983, with Steward Observatory's 2.3-m telescope and a two-dimensional photon counting camera (Papaliolios et al. 1985). The authors give here the results of their standard power spectrum analysis, finding the absolute dimensions and rotational pole of the triaxial ellipsoid figure that yields the observed changing size, shape, and orientation of the two-dimensional ellipse projected by the ellipsoid. They give the detailed procedures that resulted in their successful image reconstructions. They develop a model from their maps of Vesta that explain in good detail the observed lightcurves of this very interesting asteroid.
