Updates:
Between 13 and 17 October 2022, 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. Coronavirus/COVID-19 mitigations compel the initial assumption of single room occupancy. However, during application, prospective participants are invited to nominate colleagues they are willing to share a room with. Doing so will increase capacity. Anyone wishing to attend shall be required to be in compliance with UC policy (e.g. coronavirus vaccination and mitigation policies). 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.
Application Period: 15 August 2022 - 23 September 2022 |
