Pumping on the Echelle has been reconfigured to allow 24/7 pumping and =
that, with the warming weather, we expect to cool the camera on Monday =
2/4.

Once cool, we will still have some work to do to troubleshoot the root =
cause of the warmup however we expect the instrument could be useable =
with extra vigilance on our part for a few days. Troubleshooting to-date =
with a warm instrument has been inconclusive.


It is too early to tell at this point if the instrument will be at =
temperature and stable for Monday night.
