Abstract

The first on-sky results of the Research, Experiment and Validation of Adaptive Optics with a Legacy Telescope (REVOLT) project are presented, along with a description of the project and its purpose. The REVOLT project has so far demonstrated successful closed loop, single conjugate adaptive optics using a natural guide star at the 1.22 m McKellar telescope at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory in Victoria, BC, Canada. In so doing, we have made the first on-sky demonstration of the Herzberg Extensible Adaptive Realtime Toolkit—based Real Time Controller, and First Light Imaging’s C-Blue One camera.
