-====== Schulman Telescope Shutdown Procedure ======
+====== DO NOT USE THIS PROCEDURE ======
 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 [[public:catalinas:lemmon:schulman_32:using_the_lcogt_gui_and_moving_the_telescope|using the LCOGT GUI and moving the telescope]] are assumed in the steps below.
  ==== Telescope and Dome ====
   - Close the telescope Mirror Covers.
   - Close observatory Dome (if not already closed).
   - Park the telescope (or move it to the park position and turn the tracking off). Make certain telescope is not tracking.
-  - Remove instrumentation- or if left in place, cover the primary mirror baffle tube with baffle cover. It is a good idea to leave the telescope in a balanced state.
+  - Make sure to leave the telescope in a balanced state. This means either with the camera on or the Eyepiece and weights on.
   - Rotate Dome (any method) to chosen safe position. Park position is currently at 59 degrees [[public:catalinas:lemmon:schulman_32:review_of_astronomical_coordinates|Azimuth]].
+  - Press the red button on the {{:maxdome_controller_box.jpg?linkonly|dome controller box}} to cut power to it.
-=== Disconnect/Disable Devices (Software)===
+==== Main Computer Software ====
   - On the main observatory computer {{:acp_connect.jpg?linkonly|disconnect the telescope via ACP}} (if connected) and TIM unit.
-  - Physically turn off the {{:tim_unit.jpg?linkonly|TIM unit}} at its rocker toggle switch.
+  - Close any running software on the desktop. (Though do not turn it off the computer just yet)
-  - Press the red button on the {{:maxdome_controller_box.jpg?linkonly|dome controller box}} to cut power to it.
-  - Close any running software on the desktop.
 ==== Controller Shutdown ====

   - Open a terminal using either the terminal icon at the top of the desktop or by Right Clicking on the desktop as shown below:
   - {{:lcogt_desktop_shutdown.jpg?1200|}}
-  - At the prompt in the new terminal window type "sudo poweroff" -> This will shutdown PubSub.
+  - At the prompt in the new terminal window type ''sudo poweroff'' -> This will shutdown PubSub, you will know it works when the VNC screeen freezes or shows "Disconnected".
   - Using VNC access the MIC computer.
-  - Open a new terminal and again execute "subo poweroff"
+  - Open a new terminal and again execute ''sudo poweroff'' just as on PubSub
-  - Wait 2 minutes (to make certain these computers shutdown "nicely")
   - Turn the {{:telescope_controller_switch.jpg?linkonly|red controller switch}} to "Off"
-==== Main Computer and UPS's ====
+==== Main Computer Shutdown====
+Now you can turn off the Main Computer via whatever method. Make sure it's off (and not installing updates) before proceeding.
+==== UPS Shutdown ====
+Turn off the Large UPS by pressing the "power" button. Turn off small UPS, this requires pressing and holding for a moment.
+{{:public:catalinas:lemmon:schulman_32:power_big_ups_off.gif?direct|}}
+{{:public:catalinas:lemmon:schulman_32:power_ups_off.gif?direct|}}
+Unplug both UPS's from the wall now that they are off.

+{{:public:catalinas:lemmon:schulman_32:power_ups_unplug.gif?direct|}}
+In Warm room unplug the ethernet cable that give service to Controller. This is to protect it from any lightning travelling through the ethernet cable (RIP Phillips in 2019).
+==== It's a Tarp! ====
-  - Turn off the Large UPS (for telescope controller) by pressing the "power" button. The screen indicates the instructions.
+Consider covering the Telescope and main computer desk with tarps. The desk should be quite easy but the telescope can be challenging. If you do not have a helper or are simply unable to do so make sure to inform mountain operations.
-  - Unplug the Large UPS from the wall.
-  - Shutdown main observatory computer.
-  - Turn off small UPS (for computer and remote power outlets).
-  - Unplug from power source.
-  - In Warm room unplug the CAT5 cables that give service to the main observatory computer and the telescope controller.
-  - Consider covering telescope, observatory desk and television.
