At 0400 UTC, the NEWFirm filter was K-band. I selected J-band and pressed the button for the filter to change. After a delay, the filter error (red) light came on. We attempted to use the filter "Init" button but this did not fix the error. We pressed the "end-of-night" button, followed by "start-of-night" and the filter wheel still would still not respond. After more conversations, Sean was able to correct the issue by pressing the "end-of-night", followed by "Exit" to close the entire program. After restarting the software the filter wheel became responsive and observations for the rest of the night occured without issue.

None other than the filter wheel error.
