SPICam has been removed from the observing level for some dewar work.  =
The primary focus is to address the recent cooling issues.

As a result, SPICam is not available for observing at this time.

We plan to have the camera back for use  by it's next schedule observing =
run on May 31st.

We regret any inconvenience this may cause but the temperature problem =
had gotten severe enough that it would not be scientifically productive =
with the warming springtime temperatures.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact myself or Bill =
Ketzeback at the observatory.
