摘要：

We describe different works conducing to the adaptive optics system for the TIM 6.5m telescope. We show turbulence profiles results at our San Pedro Martir Observatory in Baja using the Generalised SCIDAR. We can conclude that the turbulence condicions in this site are comparable to the major observatories in the world. From these results and taken in account curvature AO simulations it is possible to predict the performances in limiting magnitude and sky coverage of different AO systems and telescopes in our observatory. We can also define the degree of the AO system for the TIM 6.5m telescope. We made a short description of our LOLA tip-tilt corrector system and the GUIELOA 19 elements curvature AO system. The calculation of the optics quality for the TIM 6.5m is briefly mentioned. Studies about the influence of the finite outerscale on the optical quality of AO corrected images are described.
