Changed Launch time to First Seen, added an In Progress check box that is to be used when the cme started before data collection and changed Wing from East/West wing angle to Edge to better clarification. This should be reflected in future cme alerts sent out after today. ___end___ Thu Sep 03 22:27:43 GMT 2026 Report Time: 22:27:15 UTC Image: 20260903_221212_kcor_l2_nrgf.gif Obs time: 22:12:12 First Seen: 21:52:14 CME Front Height: 1.58 Rs (front) CME Front Angle: 87.6 East Edge Angle: 77.5 West Edge Angle: 100.9 Angular Width: 23.4 CME Speed: fast CME Brightness: faint Confidence: medium Seen in: nrgf Observer Comment: Faint, fast cme in the area where the cme from earlier today launched in the E Thu Sep 03 22:43:43 GMT 2026 KCOR End Patrol Thu Sep 03 22:43:50 GMT 2026 KCOR End Patrol Thu Sep 03 22:44:03 GMT 2026 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Thu Sep 03 22:52:39 GMT 2026 KCOR End Patrol Thu Sep 03 22:52:41 GMT 2026 KCOR End Patrol Thu Sep 03 22:53:18 GMT 2026 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Thu Sep 03 23:09:17 GMT 2026 KCOR End Patrol Thu Sep 03 23:09:23 GMT 2026 KCOR End Patrol Thu Sep 03 23:13:27 GMT 2026 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Thu Sep 03 23:15:40 GMT 2026 KCOR End Patrol Thu Sep 03 23:15:42 GMT 2026 KCOR End Patrol Thu Sep 03 23:16:45 GMT 2026 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Thu Sep 03 23:40:53 GMT 2026 KCOR End Patrol Thu Sep 03 23:40:59 GMT 2026 KCOR End Patrol Thu Sep 03 23:41:34 GMT 2026 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Thu Sep 03 23:44:34 GMT 2026 KCOR End Patrol Thu Sep 03 23:44:46 GMT 2026 KCOR End Patrol Thu Sep 03 23:44:56 GMT 2026 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Thu Sep 03 23:45:54 GMT 2026 KCOR End Patrol Thu Sep 03 23:46:02 GMT 2026 KCOR End Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Sep 04 00:06:48 GMT 2026 Testing a new version of Socketcam.

I collected some dome closed darks in with both socketcam versions. The data sets look similar in the realtime quicklook but I need to look deeper later. The labview defaults should automatically run our normal version of socketcam tomorrow. ___end___ Logger COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Sep 04 01:36:50 GMT 2026 Log closed ONSITE STAFF: berkey, lisapg ___end___
