There's a ban on mobiles and laptops within 5km of the telescope. I have no idea how far away the towns are but that seems impossible to enforce with tourists.

I have no idea how far away the towns are but that seems impossible to enforce with tourists. I guess it just doesn't operate during certain hours because of interference.

Most remaining RFI would be smartphones emissions, but as they will be nearly useless in this area most people may accept to switch them in airplane mode (and will be able to use the camera).
