The building camera was having some auto exposure issues and producing some images that are almost completely white.  These seem to have been charasiticly ~49k in size. So I have updated the script that copys these files to the server to ignore these small files for now while I try to understand the root cause of the problem.  But for now the ignore small files fixe, has helped made the webcam video look better.

Dome rotation has a new audible vibration that sounds to be coming from the interaction of the slip rings and contact fingers.  There is no obvious cause to this problem and it doesn't seem like this system is in a dangerous state.  So I have an email in to ash support looking for more sight to the problem.
