Gemini Adaptive Optics Pages

The Gemini Telescope Project has begun an agressive program to implement adaptive
optics systems for each of the Gemini telescopes. The goal is to reach near
diffraction-limited images at near infrared wavelengths during median seeing conditions
with the driving principles being to maximize the observing efficiency and to enable new
science at these wavelengths.
