I am Asking Jose at the observatory to cover the scopes and camera so we can take darks :)

So if by chance we do have clear any clear skies over the next few days p14 will most likely miss them as it takes time to organise covering and again uncovering of the equipment

Please ignore my dylexia wherever possible, just be thankful I can control my Tourettes ;)

Things to do, so little time!

OK Steve. We need darks so we have to do it sometime. And now we have data, let's get on with it.

Darks are done now and we have also taken the liberty of adding dark flats etc while the scope was covered

They will be uploaded today all things being equal

They should be ready to download properly arouns 2PM GMT

Please do not download before then as they will likely be corrupt.

Please disregard post above, they will be ready by 4PM.

We had an internet outage so I couldn't upload them in time.

Phil,

Getting a "corrupted archive" message on the flat darks. This time Ray has the same problem, so I am hoping it is not just me (tried on two separate computers).

Thanks

Well! I was away from my tablet when your messages were sent. Downloaded them a few minutes ago and the unzip worked. Haven't copied them to my processing laptop yet, but they are there.

Before anyone asks, I don't know what is happening. 

I'll let you know what I find.

All the files downloaded look okay and do not give any errors. Might still be worthwhile reloading them Phil in case any corruption is within some of the files.

Aargh! 

This morning it works! I am confused. I am not having this problem with other downloads (admittedly not zipped). Does my computer not like the size or something?

I am unsure,

if a zip has an error the first time, it's usually always the case that it will have it.

if you redownload the same file after I changed it, it will work :)

Not sure why it works second time for you there old_eyes if you haven't redownloaded them lol

No I redownloaded today and everything was fine. It looked like Ray was succeeding and I wasn't, but maybe it was the timing of who did what when :-)

The most ocmmon cause is downloading the zip before I finished uploading it lol :)

My problem now is more basic. Having integrated them into a master flat-dark,  I thought I had to then calibrate the flats for each filter using that, then stack those into a new master per filter. 

Don't see any difference using the new master flats. I must have done something wrong.  Suggestions welcomed

I promise I did wait! I think I will just have to file it under weird IT stuff and just keep trying. I don't understand how I can download successfully one day and not the next.

Massive files and  remote internet speeds are a pain !

At least they are not needed again for 6 months or so lol
