Updates:
Between 14 and 18 October 2021, 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 workshop will be run by the Lick Staff Astronomers, featuring hands-on observing 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 experiences as well as valuable networking opportunities embracing the whole of UC Astronomy. The number of participants is limited due to reduced capacity of accommodations on Mount Hamilton (resulting from Coronavirus/COVID-19 mitigations and impact of August 2020 SCU complex wildfire). Anyone wishing to attend shall be required to have been fully-vaccinated (+ 2 weeks) against COVID-19, or have a valid exemption (in compliance with the mandatory vaccination policy of UC President, Michael V. Drake). Participants will be accommodated in the new and old dorms. Rooms are doubles or triples with shared bathrooms. Participants may be asked to assist with food preparation.
