... Previous: Substepping and its Application to HST Imaging . ... This is a preliminary report on an application of the co-addition technique based upon the Richardson-Lucy algorithm. The combination of high signal-to-noise ground-based images obtained with the ESO NTT using SUSI with high angular resolution HST FOC f/96 images gives new insights on the properties of galaxy cores and their potential time variability. Cores of galaxies are one of the main thrusts of present extragalactic research. ...

... For example, as pointed out by Perlman et al. (1996b), the lack of a Ca II H & K break strength criterion in the 1 Jy, S4 and S5 samples of BL Lacs, has caused numerous objects to be misclassified as radio galaxies instead of BL Lacs (see also March? Browne 1995, 1996). ... While one may argue that some of these objects fall in the expanded region of the (H & K break strength, equivalent width) diagram that March? et al. (1996) allot to the BL Lacs, several, for example 1 Jy 1308+326, do not. ...
