Diffraction-limited 800 nm imaging with the 2.56 m Nordic Optical Telescope

A quantitative assessment is presented of diraction-limited stellar images with Strehl ratios of 0.25{0.30 obtained by selection of short-exposure CCD images of stars brighter than +6 m at 810 nm with the Nordic Optical Telescope.
