I am getting a lot of Xedar Camera RS232 Error, Fix Problem and Restart!! Errors On both the science and spare cameras. I think this implies the problem is not in the camera or I guess the science camera could have died but something else is also broken. Reverting to the science camera. ___end___ ****EVENT COMMENT BY berkey**** : Fri Aug 14 19:32:54 GMT 2015 Interesting eruption seeing launching from the southern hemisphere of the sun in an area devoid of suns pots at 17:00UT.
