Abstract

     Based on observed PSFs from the WFPC2 calibration programs, series of PSF subtraction tests have been performed and the resulting photometry analyzed. We find that using a composite observed PSF, constructed from optimally selected PSFs based on location and breathing values, yields single photometric values affected by an RMS dispersion of about 0.01-0.02 mag. While resampling does not appear to have much of an effect on the photometric results, the color of the PSF employed is important.
