Professional AO systems that react at thousands of times per second are able to help with seeing. Smaller systems working at ~10x per second (tip/tilt) are largely not able to do anything more than smooth out minor sub second mount errors. I read a report once that did mention that it could help with large convective gas bubbles in the atmosphere as they have a slow moving effect. It would be nice to have a real AO system but I cannot afford the super computer required to do the computations haha
