Current Status

PIRATE is working after a camera swap and needs time for focus runs before use.

COAST is working and returning images, but the new CMOS camera is sending pairs of 12bit images rather than a single 16bit one which means it is not yet suitable for photometry.

Planned Outages

PIRATE should become available in the next week.

COAST will remain unavailable while await a replacement driver
