KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Tue Sep 22 21:02:44 GMT 2026
Kcor was incorrectly reporting dark shutter opened; due to tieing the periodic polling code to the offline (always open) packard shutter.  Code was fixed to look at the online shutter for metadata.  Cal started at 20:52:13 seems to show the correct values.

Electrical testing related to the shutter.  All wiring and voltages appear correct.
