Photon bias compensation in triple correlation imaging and observation of R 136

We report diffraction-limited speckle masking observations of the central object R 136 in the 30 Doradus Nebula, and we describe a new method for the compensation of the 4-dimensional photon bias terms in the average bispectrum. More than 40 stellar components are present in the 4″.9×4″.9 field of view of our reconstructed images. The closest binaries found have separations between 0″.03 and 0″.05.
