First image* is a dark subtracted from the rest of the images. All frames were acquired at an exposure time of 917 msec (ND was varying). The file with the question mark by the average is suspect and thus not plotted (possibly filter was not changed?). The nearly identical average DN for the ND=0 and ND=0.1 is suspect and I am checking into this (20580269.FIT vs. 20580309.FIT). The statistics were collected over the subarea of the image relatively free from the oil slicks and scratch (see above).

CCD linearity sequence #2 MSI. Average 16 image files.

It would appear that the ND filter was NOT changed from 719 to 759?
