Example AO image and sensitivity curve for KIC 5961302, a V = 13.7 mag K4V Kepler target in our control sample. The resolution of the image is 0﹩\mathop{.}\limits^{\unicode{x02033}}﹩109 (FWHM of the PSF). The black points represent the measured sensitivity relative to the brightness of the target in FWHM radial steps from the target. The purple represents the azimuthal rms dispersion of the sensitivity measurements. The inset image is a 4″ zoom in on the target from the final fully mosaicked image, which was approximately 17″ × 17″ in size.
