Power cycled the usb cables and that made it worse. Then power cycled the raspberry pi and it came back up; tested it with out turn off KCor power strip and then turned on ILX (only) and the output triggered properly instead of staying off. Should be okay to go once it comes up to temp. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY lisapg: Mon Jun 08 16:33:41 GMT 2026 Logger computer lower monitor was not working this morning; had to power cycle the monitor cable to get it back up. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY lisapg: Mon Jun 08 16:38:28 GMT 2026 Observing station monitors were left on through the night. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY lisapg: Mon Jun 08 16:58:39 GMT 2026 Dome open ___end___ ** KCOR PM lisapg ** : Mon Jun 08 16:58:50 GMT 2026 entry was edited Blew off Kcor O1 ___end___ ** GENERAL PROBLEM REPORTED BY lisapg ** : Mon Jun 08 16:59:16 GMT 2026 entry was edited Currently not getting any signal from the guider.

Manually drove the O1 back from 124 to 134 before starting the O1 focus. ___end___ Mon Jun 08 17:52:42 GMT 2026 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Mon Jun 08 17:54:26 GMT 2026 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY lisapg: Mon Jun 08 18:03:45 GMT 2026 entry was edited Trouble shooting update/solution: After checking cabling to make sure nothing got disconnected from the SGS Nema box, I shut down the SGS computer and then power cycled the SGS Nema box power strip. This did not fix the problem; when the error popped up again, I clicked the blue link that said "search for ni.com for error". This brought me to a troubleshooting page that had the error I was looking for after searching for it and then clicked on the appropriate link. It told me to check the ni-max app and when I did, I got an error that said: Max database corruption The database file is corrupt. Refer to the KnowledgeBase article 4GA9TOQA for information about how to fix or restore the database file. I did not close the trouble shooting guide, so I continued through the steps. It mentioned that the Max database file becoming corrupt is rare and if this does happen, reset the max database file. Thankfully the application was still responsive, so I was able to go to Tools>> Reset Configuration Data. Followed the prompts and after the computer came back from a restarting, SGS started working and tracking just fine. Hopefully, since this is rare, we won't encounter this for a while but good to know. ___end___ ** KCOR PROBLEM REPORTED BY lisapg ** : Mon Jun 08 18:51:43 GMT 2026 Kcor circular acquisition error ___end___ Mon Jun 08 18:52:46 GMT 2026 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Solar Event COMMENT BY lisapg: Mon Jun 08 20:13:59 GMT 2026 Activity can seen on the East limb; may be a cme but not too sure as it looks like it's falling back.
