Calypso Telescope Operators Manual: Avoid Light Pollution

Light Pollution

In order to avoid corruption of both Calypso data and the data of other telescopes on the mountiain it is important to control all extraneous sources of light. If you do not, you might get a nasty call from the WIYN telescope.

• Make sure that all window shades in the control building and the electronics room are closed before dark. If you need to have a shade open, make sure all white lights are extinguished.
• You may use the outside red lights when you are walking between buildings. The lights on the stairs should only be used while you are on the stairs. Turn off the stair lights as soon as you are off the stairs.
• Keep all building doors closed and latched.
