Problems: 

There was a filter wheel error at the beginning of the night, when changing from "DARK" to "JA": "B Communications Error".  The problem was resolved by restarting the GUI.

The GUI crashed once, in the morning while taking darks.

Comments: 

Thanks to Manuel for opening up a VNC session on observer2 so that I could see the Blanco Telescope Control System GUI!
