Thought the in position was 0, may have gotten bad information when we forced a git pull from github. Putting in the last known good values fixed this. ___end___ UCoMP COMMENT BY lisapg: Tue Apr 09 18:15:42 GMT 2024 UCoMP had some trouble starting getting the recipes correct, needed to manually edit a couple of the recipes to sort out the problem. ___end___ UCoMP COMMENT BY lisapg: Tue Apr 09 18:24:24 GMT 2024 Recipe problem with synoptic-old that lead to skipping taking flats. This has been hopefully fixed. ___end___ UCoMP COMMENT BY berkey: Tue Apr 09 18:27:24 GMT 2024 This morning's UCoMP issues were cleared by 17:57 UT. The file 20240409.175535.13.ucomp.l0.fts should have been a 1079 science image; but the dark shutter was in the beam the whole time so it either be ignored or treated as a 22 extension flat. ___end___ Tue Apr 09 18:31:23 GMT 2024 Running UCOMP Cookbook synoptic-old-flat.cbk line 0 Tue Apr 09 18:50:48 GMT 2024 Running UCOMP Cookbook feXIII_cross_calibration.cbk line 0 Tue Apr 09 19:00:21 GMT 2024 KCOR End Patrol Tue Apr 09 19:00:22 GMT 2024 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20171025.ini Tue Apr 09 19:15:32 GMT 2024 KCOR End Calibration Script Tue Apr 09 19:15:49 GMT 2024 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Tue Apr 09 19:15:49 GMT 2024 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY lisapg: Tue Apr 09 19:28:15 GMT 2024 Kcor diff shows active jets on the east limb. ___end___ Tue Apr 09 19:31:44 GMT 2024 Running UCOMP Cookbook waves_1074_1hour.cbk line 0 GENERAL COMMENT BY lisapg: Tue Apr 09 19:39:19 GMT 2024 Observatory is running off one of the 8-battery homegrid banks today.
