Astronomers trade CPU cycles to beat physical/financial constraints

Press Releases August 2007

Here is another case of the creative application of technology to a vexing problem. Rather than use a brute force solution, the astronomers have taken advantage of cheap CPU cycles and good, old fashion luck to produce excellent results on a budget available to amateurs.

In this case to produce better images than a space-based telescope that avoids atmospheric interference, they take multiple images and use computers to select the best images or areas of images.

Excellent!
