G2V calibration using standard extinction factors is only a rough approximation. Atmospheric conditions vary over time, etc. I found that the results didn't always look as expected.

Certainly a worthwhile experiment. You could even do it at a couple of different altitudes and see if extinction factors produce results that match your experimental values.

Cheers,
