We describe improvements to the calibration and analysis of Fe I 6302.5 angstrom data from the San Fernando Observatory Video Spectra-Spectroheliograph (SFO-VSSHG). A more effective flat field is generated and the scales of the simultaneous Stokes measurements are made equal. Analysis of Stokes profiles is carried out using a moments technique but applied to nonlinear least-squares fits to the data. Typical spectropolarimetric results from the old and new methods are compared and discussed. Finally, we present asymmetry maps, a zero-crossing map, and a "relative-split" map extracted from the fits to the Stokes V profiles.
