Filter mechanism

The current filter mechanism is very old and fails rather often. Generally the system can be recovered easily, but when this happens at night no more observations with StanCam can be made which might affect monitoring or ToO observations. A review will be made of the system to look for any possible cause for the more frequent failures and if the current system can be modified such that it becomes more reliable or if we should consider designing a new mechanism.
