Experiments of GLAO using the domeless solar telescope of the Hida Observatory

We report experiments of solar ground-layer (GL) adaptive optics (AO) using the 60cm domeless solar telescope of the Hida Observatory, Japan. We developed an averaging-type GL wavefront sensor and confirmed that it properly worked in computer simulations. We set the wavefront sensor behind a conventional AO system and modified AO software so as to drive a deformable mirror using the GL sensor. We conducted solar observations with the GLAO system in September, 2017. It worked to improve observational images over wide fields.
