Their wire seemed to be jammed, so I disconnected it from the wheels to allow the dome to close. Always a fun time climbing on buildings. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Fri Jun 5 18:06:09 GMT 2015 I love how large and sharp the new real time gif is.

Double checked reservoir to see if I could feel any air escaping and made sure the cap was tight.
