Lucky Imaging

Lucky Imaging is an observational technique in ground-based astronomy that belongs to the class of high-resolution imaging methods and is distinguished by its use of short-exposure frames to "freeze" atmospheric turbulence, selecting only the least distorted images for combination to achieve diffraction-limited resolution.
