Ray,
I did some experiments and got a reasonable FWHM improvement on a GSO RC10 at f/8 and an image scale of around 0.56 arcsec/pixel. IIRC, it was windy the night I was testing.
Martin Pugh is also getting some fantastic results from AO but that's on a big scope (17", I think?) at SRO with very good seeing.
Not surprisingly, it seems that AO is most beneficial when you're pushing the limits of your mount.
Cheers,
Rick.
