Tony Misch was working as a painter and art instructor when, in 1982, he accepted a six-month job at Mount Wilson Observatory. Six months turned into twenty-five years in astronomy, the last twenty of which he spent as a support astronomer on Mount Hamilton. In 2008 he initiated the Lick Observatory Historical Collections Project to preserve and promote Lick's historical legacy.
Lick Observatory is located on 4200' Mt. Hamilton in the Diablo Range, east of San Jose, California. Largest among its nine research-grade telescopes is the Shane 3-meter Reflector, active since 1959. The 3-meter is in operation every clear night of the year, used by many different astronomers from within the UC system for a variety of projects ranging from observations of our solar system to distant galaxies. More information about the observatory, science and education programs can be found at our website. If you like these lectures, please support our Public Outreach and Education by donating to the Observatory or by becoming a member of the Friends of Lick Observatory.
