Caption: Figure 3.

Same as Figure 2. These are the four brightest and closest targets of the sample. The systematic mirrored dark and bright features are most probably caused by the systematic variations in the PSF structure due to differential aberrations of the filters. However, no other significant positive signal can be found in the vicinity of the brown dwarfs.
