The Spectral camera on the 2-meter telescope on Haleakala has been taken out-of-service because of a persistent problem with the camera's shutter. In the past month, the shutter was stuck closed during observations on various nights: Aug 11-15, Aug 30-31, and Sep 6. We have determined the likely source of the malfunction is the shutter control cable. The camera will be returned to service as soon as the shutter problem is fixed.
