OK, you fire a starshell in your round with inf. platoon. Then you plot lotta arty in those enlightenede hexes. Question is: Are the shells and the benifit of them (full strength/hitting home) gone next turn (since arty rounds fall in your opponent's round) ..

They do not help for plotting arty. They have 2 good uses that I know of:
1) To see what the opponent is doing in the dark
2) They do allow spotting for effective Opportunity Fire
When an opponent lets me know about his units' presence in a hex thru gun-flashes, if I have a unit in range that can execute a direct fire attack at a distance of 2 hexes or more, I will pop a starshell to make that attack more effective.
