<a id="f1" ><span class="footnote">(1)</span></a>:
FWHM in arcseconds of a 20s Br-gamma (2.18 mum) PHARO image of a V~8 star, with tip-tilt loop closed and an optimized static figure on the DM.  UT time is shown in parentheses.  If multiple observations were made, that most representative of the night is listed.
