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

All of the Lick telescopes (Shane, Nickel, APF) can also be controlled from the same remote ops rooms as Keck, though usage priority is assigned based on aperture diameter (not first-come-first-serve).

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.
