Three flights of the Kuiper Airborne Observatory (KAO) were taken to study the cause of the point spread function (PSF) degradation. The preliminary conclusions are: (1) the KAO point spread function decreases in size with elapsed time at altitude; (2) image motion is occasionally comparable to the size of the image, but is usually a sub-arcsecond effect; and (3) star images show small scale internal structural changes on a 200 microsecond timescale.
