Follow these steps to shut down KCWI and associated systems at the end of the night.

  1. Perform End-of-Night Shutdown.
    From the background menu, select KCWI Control Menu > End-of-Night Shutdown. This will perform the following functions:
  2. Stop MAGIQ.
    Kill any existing MAGIQ guider eavesdrop window by selecting File > Exit.
  3. Stop other windows.
    Kill any existing FACSUM and Xmet windows by clicking the "X" at the top right of the window.
  4. Remove starlist.
    If it is important to keep your targets confidential, be sure to delete your starlist file.
  5. Print Electronic Log.
    If you would like a copy of our electronic log for your run, you must save or print a copy before leaving (since the logs are not externally accessible). Please consult the instructions posted on the KEOLA webpage.
  6. Complete POC form.
    Please complete a Post Observing Comments form to let us know how your run went. You responses to this form are logged and tracked and are important to us in maintaining and improving nighttime observing operations.
  7. Log out.
    From the local desktop menu (not the VNC one), select the option to log out. At Keck this is done by selecting Exit FWVM on the local (not VNC) desktop menu; at other sites it will depend on your site's configuration. It is not necessary to close your VNC viewers, since they should close when you log out.
  8. Take your stuff.
    Before leaving remote ops, please be sure you have all your belongings and throw away any trash.
