... A demonstration of HST WFPC image restoration has been made using both empirical and simulated PSFs. Empirical PSFs are obtained from the WFPC PSF library and also extracted from the image to be restored. ... The best results obtained thus far rely upon being able to determine a high S/N empirical PSF from the data frame. In order to achieve accurate restorations of data with high dynamic range excellent PSF models are required. ... Keywords: image restoration, HST WFPC image, PSFs . ...

... The first step to improve the FORS calibration is therefore to obtain data to allow a computation of the illumination correction across the field. ... Another limitation on the calibration accuracy has been the brightness of the Landolt standards which have forced the use of extremely short exposures introducing small but non-negligible shutter-time errors and also resulting in a very small number of useful standards per frame. ...
