ИСТИНА

Lucky imaging is a method allowing to achieve diffraction resolution on a moderate ground-based telescopes at the cost of limiting magnitude. To adequately evaluate capabilities of this technique for a given place (Mt. Shatdzhatmaz) we performed a Monte Carlo numerical simulation taking into account properties of optical turbulence measured there. Statistics of lucky imaging isoplanatic angle was evaluated on the basis of this data. Optimal conditions in atmosphere for lucky imaging was derived.
