An update of the on-sky performance of the Layer-Oriented wave-front sensor for MAD

arXiv:1009.3393 · doi:10.1117/12.857317

Abstract

The Multi-conjugate Adaptive optics Demonstrator, MAD, successfully demonstrated on sky the MCAO technique both in Layer Oriented and Star Oriented modes. As results of the Guaranteed Time Observations in Layer Oriented mode quality astronomy papers have been published. In this paper we concentrate on the instrumentation issues and technical aspects which stay behind this success.
