The first I heard of it being closed was last year when they said it was closing for 4 months until March as the skies would be smoky until then . I am sure there is much more to the story . It is perhaps not an ideal instrument for public outreach work - very small field of view and difficult to get hordes to the eyepiece aside from the thermal management issues of a hundreds of kg of glass but I am only surmising .
