the angular range over which wavefront distortions from turbulence are nearly the same, limiting adaptive-optics correction away from the guide star.

In optics, isoplanatic angle refers to the angular range over which wavefront distortions from turbulence are nearly the same, limiting adaptive-optics correction away from the guide star. This meaning comes from Fried (1982) in Journal of the Optical Society of America.[1]
