Please clean up after yourself in the remote observing area (i.e. the basement of Campbell Hall, Room 11).
Also, there is to be absolutely NO COOKING OR COFFEE MAKING in the remote observing area.
To get your Cal ID card coded for the entrance to Room 11, you must bring you Cal ID to the Keys, Space, and Heath & Safety person (currently Robert Magtibay, 601-C Campbell Hall).
Keck
The official department page about this stuff is here and the official Keck Mainland Observing page is here.
There are three observing rooms on the ground floor of Campbell. You need keycard access (email Rayna + your advisor) to enter. Each station is equipped with several monitors and a polycom for talking to the telescope operator on the summit. All rooms have a couch (146 has the comfiest) and room 144 has a fridge, coffee maker, and microwave, but please keep it all clean! Bathrooms are in the hallway; remember your keycard so you can get back into the observing room!
Lick
If no one is using the Keck Remote Observing setup (mentioned above) for Keck observations, then you can schedule to use that setup for the Lick 3m Shane telescope (although this is still in beta testing as of Summer 2008). There is also a three-headed setup for the Lick 1m Nickel telescope.
Here is the Lick Observatory Remote Observing homepage. It has the Observing Policy and Instructions for remote observing on both the 3m and the 1m at Lick.
The APF can be remotely controlled from the remote observing station in HFA (Remote Ops 3), or from either station in Evans.
