Observatory Facilities:

The Automated Planet Finder

I am in charge of the Automated Planet Finder (APF), a 2.4m robotic telescope at Lick Observatory. My responsibilities range from scheduling the telescope to replacing power supplies.

The master observing software can be found in my github account

Proposal information for observers can be found Here

Keck and Lick Exposure Time Calculators

I maintain exposure time calculators for a variety of Keck and Lick instruments. I update them when I get new data that allows me to calibrate the throughput.

The web side of the software is here in my github account

Data Reduction Software:

A compendium of information on reducing Keck data.

I have put together a collection of information and links for reducing Keck data. This is a work in progress, and hopefully always will be. Suggestions and ideas are certainly appreciated.

Building autoslit on a Mac

This can be a pain. I have written a short how-to and given some example Makefiles.
