This is a test to see if it helps with the blurred image problems we've been having.

Some images were still blurred, so I changed the software mirror gains from -5 to -50.

I was trying different mirror gains and it kept crashing, even with the old gain of -25. So I left the old gain in the software and will try starting from scratch with the Run command.

I had to wait for the observing sequence to end before I could shut down gracefully since the Obs command isn't currently working right.
