  We describe a technique for improving the response of a telescope chopping
secondary mirror assembly by using a signal processing method based on the Lucy
deconvolution technique. This technique is general and could be used for any
systems, linear or non-linear, where the transfer function(s) can be measured
with sufficient precision. We demonstrate how the method was implemented and
show results obtained at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory using different
chop throw amplitudes and frequencies. No intervention from the telescope user
is needed besides the selection of the chop throw amplitude and frequency. All
the calculations are done automatically once the appropriate command is issued
from the user interface of the observatory's main computer.
