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. 0520 Beginning shutdown procedure 0537 Completed shutdown, locking up =====ToDo===== =====Notes===== * 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 =====Weather===== | Time | Temp | Humidity | | 1900 | 39 | 57 | | 2100 | 37 | 56 | | 2100 | 34 | 64 | | 2200 | 34 | 64 | | 2300 | 36 | 43 | | 0000 | 35 | 47 | | 0100 | 33 | 56 | | 0200 | 31 | 63 | | 0300 | 31 | 66 | | 0400 | 30 | 72 | | 0500 | 30 | 75 | =====Data===== {{tag>[picsarr]}}
