Socketcam came up with an image write error. Deleting older files on KCor to make space for new files. KCor idled during this process

GENERAL COMMENT BY lisapg: Thu Jun 25 18:40:13 GMT 2026
Re-synced the time for KCor and SGS as KCor was 2-3 seconds slow and SGS was 2-3 seconds fast. Note that when we reset SGSs' clock, it reset its pid loop (meaning the GUI reset it's self and we lost tracking briefly). We should either reset the clocks if they're off before observing or have them scheduled to sync before/after the observational day.
