Do the images of stars overlap on the CCDs?
More than 100,000 target stars were selected in the Kepler field of view. These stars were chosen so that they do not overlap other stars or more distant background galaxies. The data from each selected star is carefully reviewed to eliminate binary stars, and distant field stars and galaxies. The data for each target star is separate from the data for other nearby target stars.
