In helioseismology, time series for each spherical harmonic are calculated by convolving the imaged data with spherical harmonic masks. Because we image only a part of the solar surface, each time series is contaminated by power from neighbouring spherical harmonics. This contamination can be quantified by calculating the so-called `leakage matrix'. Many data analysis techniques depend on a good estimate of this matrix. Motivated by the new GONG+ data, we have improved the calculation of the leakage matrices for both GONG+ and GONG Classic images. Specifically, we have improved the grids used for calculating the apodization; incorporated an empirical projection function; and allowed for the different pixel aspect ratios and image apodization functions of GONG+ and GONG Classic data. The effect of these improvements will be shown through several comparisons between the calculated matrices and the observed power spectra.
