Purpose

Take one or more images with the LRIS BLUE camera, using the
current instrument settings. The images are acquired as if the
the instrument was going to take a dark, but the shutter is
openned during the dark exposure. This program is a modified
version of goib and is used as a workaround for a shutter
problem. The problem is that the shutter close and open leads
are swapped in hardware causing mb cshutter=0 to open the shutter
(normally closed) and mb cshutter=1 to close the shutter
(normally open). The shutter problem occured 16 Jan. 04. The
workaround is to be used for the nights of 16,17,18 Jan.
