** KCOR PROBLEM REPORTED BY berkey ** : Wed Jul 29 16:58:19 GMT 2026
Currently taking a set of kcor "darks" with a obvious light leak.  

Doing an open close cycle on the shutter at ~16:57:40 seems to have cleared up the light leak.

KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Jul 29 19:47:45 GMT 2026
We attempted to swap the kcor O1 with one of the new ones, however on investigation it was found that the new mount does not fit the telescope.  Reverted back to the same o1 we were using this morning.
