Astro-TipTop Services
Analytical AO PSF modelling, documentation, tutorials, and interactive services
Welcome to Astro-TipTop Services
Astro-TipTop Services is the documentation and community platform for the TipTop ecosystem. TipTop is an analytical framework for adaptive-optics (AO) PSF modelling, originally developed for fast AO PSF prediction and now supporting a broader range of scientific and operational applications.
The platform provides access to installation guides, tutorials, validated instrument configurations, interactive tools, and documentation for applications such as AO PSF simulation, guide-star selection, observation preparation, PSF reconstruction, and data analysis.
