 +0511 Received Sharpcap error: "Error loading profile: The capture profile could not be loaded correctly. The problems were: Setting ZWO EFW to filter 3". This filter position holds the r-filter that we need for PICSI-2 observations. There may be something wrong with the filter wheel, keeping it from changing to filter wheel position 3. A photo of the error is in the discord thread for this session
 +
 +0513 Went into the dome and reseated the cables to the filter wheel - continued to get the same error message. Made the executive decision to close up for the night on account of this being a new error - we did not want to mess with the instrument/filter wheel and potentially damage something.

 +  * The north mirror door stalled for a second - we needed to open and close them a second time before all 4 closed 
 +  * Sharpcap error showed unprompted, we were about to begin the capture for PG 1633+099 when it popped up
