Speckle interferometry has been on RFO’s research radar for a while, with earlier proof-of-concept observations demonstrating the technique is achievable with the RC20 telescope. This summer, RFO volunteer Harley Zerega took that foundation to the next level, systematically working to understand the limits of what the RC20 can accomplish with speckle — observing three double …
