Speckle interferometric observations of the collision of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter

Speckle interferometric technique has been used to obtain a series of short exposure images of the collision of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter during the period of July 17-24, 1994 using the Nasmyth focus of 1.2 meter telescope of Japal-Rangapur Observatory, Hyderabad. The technique of Blind Iterative Deconvolution (BID) was used to remove the atmospherically induced point spread function (PSF) from these images to obtain diffraction limited informations of the impact sites on Jupiter.
