Abstract.

Ground-conjugate wide field AO is presented and preliminary performance results are given, which show that significant seeing improvement can be achieved over 10-20 arcmin field of view. A proposal for an ELT AO system is sketched.

To appear in the proceedings of Venice 2001 Beyond Conventional Adaptive Optics.
