-When the sun has set and before it is dark enough to slew to your first target, you can begin opening the telescope optics. Open the telescope optics one by one using the Control Tab on the Telescope GUIs: [M1 OPEN] - opens the primary mirror cover (takes ~ 3 minutes to open), [M3 OPEN], [M5 OPEN], [M7 OPEN], and [FIND OPEN] if you want the finder. Note that the W2 and E1? finder covers require two clicks of the [OPEN] button to fully open. Monitor progress of the M1 and M3 covers by using [SPY2] camera on the telescope TV screens. Wait for all covers to open. The Telescope Monitor reports the status of all mirror covers. Close and reopen the Telescope Monitor if it reads UNKNOWN for a telescope, even after hitting REOPEN.+About 20 minutes after the sun has set, it is dark enough to slew to your first target and you can begin opening the telescope optics.

 Go inside the lab with booties: Turn off the silver box, then black box for NIRO and replace the NIRO camera cover if used. Turn off the key for the green alignment laser and turn the power switch off. Turn off Pico 3 controller above the tiptilt camera. Turn off the blue amplifiers for the metrology laser (button is labeled "line") * Turn off the key for the metrology laser and place it on top of the laser box. Shut off lights when exiting the lab building. Return your booties to the basket if good or to the trash if they have holes in them. Go inside the lab with booties: Turn off the silver box, then black box for NIRO and replace the NIRO camera cover if used.

-Check the 6 ople computers and RPC's for any components that were not turned off in the OPLESystem Control gui shutdown sequence.  Any + signs on the power controllers indicate power was left on.  E1 computer is usually on. Push the Off button to turn off the component that is on.  Scroll left and right using the UP/DOWN buttons to move to each + sign.  Make sure all doors are closed as you leave.+Check the 6 ople computers and RPC's for any components that were not turned off in the OPLESystem Control gui shutdown sequence.
