Images of the pupil (left) and the focal plane (right) acquired by the SCExAO internal science camera. In addition to the four Subaru telescope spiders, the thick arm visible on the left hand side of the pupil introduces the asymmetry required for the wavefront sensing technique. The thick dot visible in the bottom pupil quadrant is induced by a dead actuator on the DM. In the focal plane, the presence of this asymmetry results in an additional set of diffraction spikes along a direction that is perpendicular to that of the arm and a lumpier first diffraction ring.
