Following successful completion of on-sky recommissioning of the telescope
and instruments last night, scheduled science operations will resume tonight,
Sunday Sept 1.  This concludes an extremely productive shutdown that
required exceptionally hard work and long hours for over 6 weeks by the
APO staff; we should all be very grateful for their efforts and
dedication.

SPICam and the NA2 guider are both inoperative due to problems with their
mechanical cooling systems.  They will be returned to service as soon as
possible, depending primarily on the response time of the relevant
vendors.  The Echelle is currently warm but is expected to be ready for
use again by Wednesday night.
