Upon powering up kcor we could not get images from the transmitted camera, we determined that this was due to one of the new camera link cable being bad. The new cable was replaced by one of the old cables and the camera is now working. Ben will continue working through the installation procedure tomorrow. ___end___ **GENERAL PROBLEM COMMENT BY stueben** : Fri Jun 19 00:31:58 GMT 2015 Upon trying to close the dome shutter the gear engaging the track on the shutter was slipping, preventing the dome from closing. The hook which holds the track onto the gear had slipped. Pulled the track back down into position with a strap and come-a-long and retightened the bolts. ___end___
