Trying a couple scripts to help (me) out with my workflow.

One will pop up a ladder warning like thing on the logging machine when kcor should have cleared the dome wall.  With some pointing around in the logs I find that we tended to claim the SGS is complete for the first time when the sun is a ~12.7degrees abvoe the horizion. So the script pops up a warning box when the sun has reached that height.  This value probally needs some tweaking as the SGS alignmnet button time stamp was a very nosiy signal; and there could bea slight seasonal variation to when kcor clears since the O1 is a bit off axis.


Also changed the way we get gong images.  It looks like ftp may be blocked on the unix hosts so the old mthod no longer works.
