KP has been offline since Mar 13th due to computer problems. Due to continuing problems with their computer it was decided the best thing is to send them a replacement computer. They should recieve the new computer perhaps next week and hopefully the KP Concam will return to working order soon.

KP has recevied replacement equipment, it has apparently been installed, but the Concam still did not record any images last night, we are still looking in to the problem.

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. Hope they get it repaired without too much trouble and cost. And thanks for the updates Vic.

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.
