To operate successful, the system must be able to determine the positions of solar structures in all 36 subapertures several hundered times per second. Since our S-VHS video recorder was defect, the event was documented using a digital handycam to take the images from the control monitor. The right image was taken under the same conditions, but with KAOS switched on. In spite of the unfavorite recording conditions the improvement of the image is clearly visible. Video image of the pore and its surrounding without K AO S similar as on the left side, but with K AO S switched on.
More details become visible, because the deformable mirror corrects the deformed wavefromt.
After this success the system will be improved stepwise to obtain a userfriendly tool, which will allow to use the high quality of the telescope more often in the future. Texts and images from old KIS homepages can be seen here.
