Turbulence introduced by the atmosphere degrades images taken using telescopes. Using adaptive optics recovers much of the information that is lost. As a result, it is possible to increase your number and quality of scientific observations.
Here there is an example with Night observation with AOLI at the 4.2-meter William Herschel
Telescope (WHT) located at Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos.
