We simulate SV blur on realistic synthetic star fields to assess the accuracy of the method for this kind of images, for different blurs, star densities, and Poisson counts.
In principle the resolving power of a telescope depends on its diameter -- a bigger one can see finer detail -- but in practice atmospheric turbulence, the same effect that makes stars appear to twinkle, blurs the stars and erases fine detail.
Still, Marise was spectacular in a long, low-cut white dress and white patent-leather boots: she had an exaggerated, coarse beauty, like a film star blurred from being too much seen.
This research presents a new method for small satellites to precisely estimate angular rate using star blurred images by employing a mission telescope to achieve precise attitude stabilization.
Mr. Thicke's album, also called "Blurred Lines" (Star Trak/Interscope), fell one spot to No. 4, with 48,000, and last week's No. 1, the self-titled release by the Civil Wars — an indie-folk duo which may or may not still exist — fell to No. 5 in its second week out with 39,000 sales, a 66 percent drop.
