Here are my results and methods: For this simple case, I assumed the images were completely background subtracted, flat-fielded etc so I skipped those portions of my code. I directly applied Don Gavel's IDL strehl funtion with parameters lambda = 1.635 microns pixel size (arcsec) = .0165966 [s4r case], .0331932 [s2r case] D (m) = 5.08 D secondary (m) = 1.8288 I used as wide a FoV as possible. Restricting it led to slightly higher strehls. Notes on Don Gavel's algorithm. He used a 2 lambda/D box around the peak of the PSF to find the sub-pixel centroid. He then generates a perfect PSF numerically from the pixelated pupil with the shift (applied via Fourier phases) so the peaks are co-located. He then measures the relative strengths of the two peaks. I am not sure what sized area is used for the normalization. Note that no binning is performed on the PSF which will account for the underestimate of the Nyquist strehls. - JC
