The passive ventilation system has been installed, and has been successfully tested hydraulically. An electronic control unit has been built by a local company, and is ready to be installed. The recent bad weather has been preventing this. When this is in place, we will be able to run the telescope only on the generator, only passively cooling the telescope. As long as the outside temperature is low, which is likely the case in any night, we will be able to run the telescope always, even if there is no external power.
