Testing the limit of AO for ELTs: Diffraction limited astronomy in the red optical

Many of the proposed science cases for extremely large telescopes (ELT) are only possible because of the unprecedented sensitivity and spatial resolution due to advanced, e.g. tomographic and multi conjugate, adaptive optic (AO) systems. Current AO systems on 8-10 m telescopes work best at wavelengt...
