KP Status: Back Online

I hope I am not jumping the gun, but it looks as though they have the KP Concam back online including photometry files. Of course the Moon is overwhelming, but it will be interesting to see if things are back to normal after sunset.

Felipe, Not to rain on your parade but I just peeked in on the CP Concam and it is still showing the image from the 8th. I sure hope the problem wasn't more serious then previously thought, I've been doing lots of bragging about your Concam :-) The network cable was found loose at the network switch...

You can see that something is being done, the image is now blank until you mouse over and the anotated version appears, which is from 2004 and messed up. It looks like Noise or bad connection issues.

Re: CP Concam Setup

Felipe, Thanks for posting those pictures of your Concam setup. From what I have seen your configuration does seem to take care of the moisture problems and may be worth duplicating at other sites (CI comes to mind). The only explanation I can come up with as to why it works so well is that the free...

Re: WO CONCAM

Yet another observatory affected by LP. Sorry to hear about that, but thanks for getting back to me anyway, even if the news was bad. Has anyone asked the town if they would replace or at least shield the offending lights?

I noticed a nice satellite pass on the CP Concam. Not sure what satellite it is, maybe Okean-O except that it is going NS and not SN. http://nightskylive.net/cp/cp050317/cp050317ut081250a.jpg Portions are also visible in the images both before and after the one pictured above.

WO Concam is online with photometry available. The images seem to be over exposed in the east, causing a glare ball near the middle, it didn't seem to move so maybe it's LP as opposed to the Moon?
