What 8" scope are you using, John?

A Celestron NexStar GPS; it happened to be what someone had for sale
that week used in the Bargain Finder. I think I'll manage to fully
program its GO TO system on my next attempt, and then use "lucky
imaging" to defy the laws of optics.

Well, not really. When one deconvolutes, one is taking the average of
many photons, so Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle is not
contradicted.

When I saw that Sky and Telescope article about the fellow doing
amateur adaptive optics with an 11" inch telescope and getting
pictures of Jupiter that looked like Hubble took them, I knew I would
have to try my hand at this...
