This paper presents the results of a preliminary investigation into the problems in through-the-atmosphere image restoration which are more suited to data from a small telescope, i.e., one having a diameter of about 0.5 m, using techniques of image geometric transformation (and eventually, parallel image processing) in their solution. We have imaged bright objects, over fields of view which subtend angles greater than those in most “large” telescope experiments, i.e., between 40 and 100 arc sec, for example, where the isoplanatic assumptions are less valid.
