-The 
+There are three vertical glints in this image: one on the top (entering about the middle of chip 40) and two on the bottom, on either side of the boundary between chips 27 and 37.  The three stars that are responsible for these three glints are marked with a red square.  Notice that in this exposure, these three stars are lined up with the observed location of the glints (after correctly adjusting for the relative orientations).  In the following three images, the same stars continue to generate glints, but since the camera is rotating, their relative positions change.  It is possible to predict the position for the glints from these stars by drawing a line parallel to the chip boundaries that intersects the stars for each exposure. There are also fainter glints that can be seen in the full-scale jpeg parallel to the cell rows coming from stars that can be identified on the north and south.
+
+It is a bit worrying that the position of these stars relative to the edge of the focal plane is changing quite a bit between exposures.  It appears (though I have not measured this carefully yet) that the boundary (in camera coordinates) in which a star may cause a glint is fairly wide.

+For this exposure, the three glints are found at: 1) chip 40, at the boundary with chip 30; 2) chip 37 between cell columns 1 & 2; 3) chip 37 between cell columns 4 & 5.
