We present the results of a pupil masking experiment using the Sun as a source. The goal of the experiment was a first proof of concept validation for Fizeau interferometric beam combination using a source that fills the field of view of the telescope. Phase diversity techniques are employed to record the phasing errors in the mask required to construct the optical transfer function (OTF) and are used to deconvolve the dirty images.
