BL Lac used a spectral calibration source during its bright state.
The assumption of a featureless spectrum, and the 150 counts s 
brightness were the reasons it was used for recalibration of the matrix.
Unfortunately this source was affected by the rate-gain
and this was not known at the time of recalibration.
Also used to test the tail of the PSPC point spread function to high S/N, after these tests the Lorentzian tail of the PSF was eventually rescaled (CAL/ROS/92-001a and CAL/ROS/93-015).
