We briefly describe the in orbit measurements of the mirror vignetting, using observations of SNR G21.5-09. The instrument features which complicate these measurements are briefly described, and we show the spatial and energy dependences, outlining assumptions made in deriving the eventual agreement between theory and measurement.
