- | 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 |

It is a good idea to leave the telescope in a balanced state. | - Remove instrumentation- or if left in place, cover the primary mirror baffle tube with baffle cover.
