Between 11 and 15 October 2018, Lick Observatory shall host a 5-day Observational Astronomy Workshop on Mount Hamilton. Intended to provide an introduction to observing, the Workshop is open to entering and early program University of California graduate students.

The 2018 Workshop honors Emma Phoebe Waterman Haas and Anna Estelle Glancy who, in 1913, were the first females to be awarded a Ph.D. by the University of California, in any discipline. Both the Glancy and Waterman theses resulted from astronomical work conducted at Lick Observatory.

The Workshop is once again made possible (as in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017) thanks to a donation from UC Irvine astronomy professor, Virginia Trimble, allowing UCO to defray most, if not all, expenses.

The workshop will be run by the Lick Staff Astronomers, featuring hands-on experience with the Kast spectrograph on the Shane telescope, the Hamilton spectrograph on the Coude Auxiliary Telescope (CAT), and direct imaging with the Nickel 1-m reflector. Additionally, the Workshop promises introductory lectures, interactive observation planning sessions, rewarding observatory experiences as well as valuable networking opportunities embracing the whole of UC Astronomy.

Participants will be accommodated in the new and old dorms. Rooms are doubles or triples with shared baths. Participants may be asked to assist with food preparation.

Application Period: 7 August 2018 - 28 September 2018
