  We propose a new strategy for obtaining enhanced resolution (FWHM = 0.12
arcsec) deep optical images over a wide field of view. As is well known, this
type of image quality can be obtained in principle simply by fast guiding on a
small (D = 1.5m) telescope at a good site, but only for target objects which
lie within a limited angular distance of a suitably bright guide star. For high
altitude turbulence this 'isokinetic angle' is approximately 1 arcminute. With
a 1 degree field say one would need to track and correct the motions of
thousands of isokinetic patches, yet there are typically too few sufficiently
bright guide stars to provide the necessary guiding information. Our proposed
solution to these problems has two novel features. The first is to use
orthogonal transfer charge-coupled device (OTCCD) technology to effectively
implement a wide field 'rubber focal plane' detector composed of an array of
cells which can be guided independently. The second is to combine measured
motions of a set of guide stars made with an array of telescopes to provide the
extra information needed to fully determine the deflection field. We discuss
the performance, feasibility and design constraints on a system which would
provide the collecting area equivalent to a single 9m telescope, a 1 degree
square field and 0.12 arcsec FWHM image quality.
