Thanks, Greg. Yes, it's hard to find info on AO performance at all apart from the odd anecdotal comment. There don't seem to be that many people using them, although there are a few producing excellent results like Leonardo Orazi.

I asked about the increase in FWHM on the Starlight Xpress group and got a response that suggested that it was due to chasing poor seeing. That's certainly plausible, but I wanted to be correcting at a fast rate to deal with the wind. I will have to play with the parameters and learn how best to make use of the AO unit. It may require different strategies for different conditions. No surprise there!

Cheers,
Rick.
