+=========Operating the Exhaust fan=========
+If the humidity inside the dome is high enough to prevent you from opening, but the humidity outside the dome is lower than 90%, you can turn on the exhaust fan to dry out the dome before you observe.
+To do that, make sure it's safe for you to open the dome (slit pointed so if the sun is still up, no direct sunlight will get on the telescope; not raining, wind speeds within bounds).
+Raise the platform so you have about a foot gap between the bottom of it and the surrounding floor.
+In the control room next to the emergency stop button, there is a light switch labeled exhaust fan which can now be turned on.
+Mirror covers should be closed, and telescope should be disabled.
