Quiting it and restarting didn't seem to fix it. Might restart KCor 2 in case this is also a problem with Kcor synoptic as well. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Tue Dec 24 17:53:55 GMT 2019 Restarting KCor 2 didn't help the slowness of the focus.vi. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Tue Dec 24 17:57:18 GMT 2019 Kcor above dome ___end___ Tue Dec 24 17:58:02 GMT 2019 SGS Alignment complete Tue Dec 24 17:59:06 GMT 2019 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Tue Dec 24 18:03:38 GMT 2019 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Tue Dec 24 18:04:12 GMT 2019 Socketcam and KCor synoptic were not working correctly.

However, nothing was done at the time this was triggered, so I have no idea what caused these images. The calibration ended at 20:08:46 and we have a couple of good images before this happened.
