Data Notification Question

I received notification this morning of new data from OC61. I'm confused:

1) Image dates are 7/27/21

2) I received, analyzed and submitted reports from this data already, so this is a duplicate notification.

I haven't seen this from other sites.

What's up?

OC61 reprocessing

Hi Peter,

We had taken new dark frames and had applied them to 210727.  Inspecting the images, it was obvious that the new darks were incorrect, so we reprocessed the images later using older darks.  That is why you got two copies.  Most likely, the photometry from the second set will not significantly differ from the first set, but I'd recommend that you redo your photometry.  Sorry for the extra work - you run into these things with automated telescopes!
