Descripción
This paper presents an automatic method for (1) digital estimation of
the width of the atmospherical seeing in astronomical images of extended
objects and (2) image restoration by using the constrained Jansson-Van
Cittert deconvolution algorithm. The estimation of the seeing is
achieved by computing the radial profile of the averaged log spectrum of
the image. The result of this estimation is then applied to compute the
Point Spread Function (PSF) used in the deconvolution process. The
method is applied to a photographical image of a sunspot. The quality of
the restoration assesses the power and usefulness of the method.
