-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 in totality here.
