Lucky Imaging

This gallery presents a collection of astronomical images taken through telescopes using lucky imaging.

The technique involves recording a rapid sequence of thousands of short-exposure images, selecting the sharpest ones—those least affected by Earth's atmosphere—and stacking them into a single image to bypass atmospheric distortions.

Lucky imaging enhances details of lunar craters, Jupiter’s cloud bands, and solar activity—features that would otherwise appear blurred due to Earth's turbulent air.
