-====== 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. The steps to shutdown the telescope are somewhat the reverse of the [[schulman_telescope_startup_procedure|Startup]] process- but greatly simplified.

 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. Consider covering the Telescope and main computer desk with tarps.
