【 摘 要 】

Speckle interferometry of close double stars avoids seeing limitations through a series of diffraction-limited high speed observations made faster than the atmospheric coherence time scale. Electron multiplying CCD cameras have low read noise at high read speeds, making them ideal for speckle interferometry. A portable speckle camera system was developed based on relatively low cost, off-the-shelf components. The camera's modular components can be exchanged to adapt the system to a wide range of telescopes.
