Two images of the Orcus-Vanth system, obtained by summing all individual observations and stacking the resulting cube for the whole range of wavelengths. Left: our 2010 February 23 UT observations using the appulse NGS AO correction, representing a total integration time of 4050 s. Both Orcus and Vanth are easily separable in the image. Right: our 2010 March 13 UT observations using the LGS AO correction, without TTS reference (see text), corresponding to a total integration time of 5400 s. The angular resolution provided in that mode forbids the detection of Vanth, whose flux, spread over many pixels, is hidden within the background noise.

This figure is made of several images, please see below:
