The good news is that I now have the roundest stars that I have seen to 
data.  I think the DS-24 set looked like little cork screws if you look 
closely.  So I think good news for those trying to fit point spread 
functions.

I really don't plan to take light box flats all that often.  Once a week, I 
think.  Then I will look at them over a month and see what is really needed.

The plan for the next data set was to take some 7x7 data on two separated 
nights with darks and flats for  each night.  We shall see.

I think the stiffeners help a lot to keep the camera lined up.  I just took 
some light box flats and they have much less of the structure that I have 
seen in previous flats.  The I lens now has rounder stars than the V 
lens.  I suspect that the V lens may have a skewed lens.  I shall examine 
it.  Actually I plan to put together a lens pair with blacken edge lenses 
(this was not done at the factory) and the flocked paper.
