Abstract
The scientific impact of adaptive optics observations carried out so far has been limited by the combined effects of the variability of the guide star PSF as well as the anisoplanacy unavoidably accompanying single-layer pupil-conjugated adaptive optics observations. In this paper we present results from a combined adaptive optics/ SCIDAR run at the Calar Alto observatory with the adaptive optics system ALFA, showing that wide-field PSF reconstruction from control system data can be successfully applied to Shack-Hartmann sensor based systems. The reconstruction results are validated via a comparison of open-loop and closed-loop photometry for two objects.
