This means lots of of "useless" fits files in the pipeline with NDfilters, clouds, diffusers etc, but no coronal data. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Dec 17 23:44:36 GMT 2014 Went to start Kcor/comp for a clear patch in the sky. Found CoMP camera had warmed and by time I got kcor started and on the right modulation the clear patch ad closed. CoMP has been cooled down now. ___end___ Thu Dec 18 01:40:38 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol Thu Dec 18 01:46:29 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Thu Dec 18 02:21:55 GMT 2014: PSPT Abort Patrol Thu Dec 18 02:21:59 GMT 2014: PSPT Abort Patrol Thu Dec 18 02:24:54 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol Thu Dec 18 02:24:58 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Dec 18 02:24:58 GMT 2014 Built a litte routine to calculate the barycenter of the kcor image, to hopefully aide speeding up/charatierzing kcor occulter misalignment. Right now I don't think the code is efficent enough to run realtime due to socketcam lagging. I have disabled the code the does the calculation to make things safe for observing tomorrow. ___end___
