Caption: Figure 4.

Excellent short exposure single image of θ ¹ Ori C at [O i] (630 nm). On the left is the raw image with a resolution of 0 farcs 021, Strehl 42%. Then the VisAO CCD's PRF is removed from the middle box and so the resolution is restored to the true value entering the CCD of 0 farcs 019. These are the highest resolution short exposure images ever obtained on any telescope to our knowledge.
