Modified astronomical speckle interferometry ``speckle masking''
Abstract
A simple method (speckle masking) for the reconstruction of real images from astronomical speckle photographs is described. This method is applicable to a restricted class of objects that includes double stars. Double stars are the object most frequently observed with speckle interferometry techniques. Certain other kinds of objects can also be investigated by the speckle masking method, which should work also at low light levels. Theory and laboratory experiments are presented.
