| Lick Observatory has a highly trained scientific and technical staff,
with a direct interest in lighting issues. The Lick staff prepared a technical
report for the San Jose City Council in 1980, when the city was about to move
away from Mercury vapor to a new lighting source. That report helped guide
policy decisions on the future lighting of San Jose. We are happy to talk to
public officials and civic groups on a less technical level about the exciting
ongoing research at Lick Observatory, and how it is affected by the different
types of city lighting.
