It is noisy and there is a wonderful illustration of the old saying: Red sky at night, vulcanologists’ delight but everything else is just fine. The camera has lost its cooling (as has Kevin’s in the neighbouring dome) so we wouldn’t be observing anyway but otherwise there is no good reason not to open up the domes.
This one is taken within 3 minutes of the start of the eruption. My dome is to the left, Kevin’s to the right, largely hidden by the tree.
