What are the primary telescope mirrors that are continuously adjusted to compensate for the distortion of starlight due to the motion of Earth's atmosphere?
Adaptive Optics
Which technology can allow a single ground-based telescope to achieve images as sharp as those from the Hubble Space Telescope?
adaptive optics
What is the name of the process used by the telescopes on earth that allowed them to overcome the effect of the atmosphere blurring caused by the earths atmosphere?
Adaptive Optics/AO.
How do astronomers try to improve the quality of ground based optical telescopes?
* By making them bigger.* By compensating for atmospheric disturbance, with something called adaptive optics.
What is meant by active optics?
Active optics are where you manipulate the mirrors and lenses in your telescope to compensate for the swimming effects in your images caused by the motions of the gases in the atmosphere. These techniques have become possible with the advent of cheap high speed computers.
