Spent some time this morning trying to troubleshoot the dark regions in the kcor images.

I assumed this was bad polarization the kcor was start and stopped a few times including a reboot that forced the applying of windows updates.  After the update I mistakenly believed windows swapped the addressing schemes of the 2 cameralink board.  To recover from this I shutdown and swapped the cameralink cables at the computer.   Since windows did not re-address the cameras this cameralink actually put in a camera swap images 19:43:06->19:43:36.  Once I realized my mistake the system was shutdown and cameras  were swapped back to there nonimial positions. 


After the reboot and camera swaps I did an O1 inspection and found a couple small specks of dusk.  Blowing these off appears to have cleared up the dark regions in the image.
