= HET Operations Manual  

  
  The purpose of doing afternoon Operations Engineering is to insure that the telescope is in the correct state for conducting nighttime observations. The essential ideas are to:
* Check early on the dome air conditioning to make sure that it is set properly for the anticipated sunset temperature.
* Bring up systems needed for nighttime operations and, check that they are running correctly.
* Recover from any issues found during Operations Engineering and recover from them before science begins.
* Record all issues accurately in bugzilla and in the OPS comment sections.[[br]]
