- | The steps to shutdown the telescope are somewhat the reverse of the [[schulman_telescope_startup_procedure|Startup]] process- but greatly simplified. Knowledge of the Startup process as well as [[using_the_lcogt_gui_and_moving_the_telescope|using the LCOGT GUI and moving the telescope]] are assumed in the steps below. | + | The steps to shutdown the telescope are somewhat the reverse of the [[schulman_telescope_startup_procedure|Startup]] process- but greatly simplified.

- | The final state of the shutdown in terms of electrical isolation (lightning shutdown) and protection from the elements (covering the telescope with plastic, rotating the dome to minimize weather effects of rain and snow etc...) are not covered here. Please confer with mountain operations staff and cognizant observers and operators for more information. | + | The final state of the shutdown in terms of electrical isolation (lightning shutdown) and protection from the elements (covering the telescope with plastic, rotating the dome to minimize weather effects of rain and snow etc...) are not covered |
