Lick Observatory is the world's first permanently occupied mountain-top observatory. [1] The observatory, in a Classical Revival style structure, was constructed between 1876 and 1887, from a bequest from James Lick of $700,000, equivalent to $24,497,407 in 2024.
The Automated Planet Finder (APF) Telescope a.k.a. Rocky Planet Finder, [1] is a fully robotic 2.4-meter optical telescope at Lick Observatory, situated on the summit of Mount Hamilton, east of San Jose, California, USA. [2] It is designed to search for extrasolar planets in the range of five to twenty times the mass of the Earth. The ...
Mount Hamilton is a mountain in the Diablo Range in Santa Clara County, California.The mountain's peak, at 4,265 feet (1,300 m), overlooks the heavily urbanized Santa Clara Valley and is the site of Lick Observatory, the world's first permanently occupied mountain-top [4] observatory. [5]

The Anna L. Nickel telescope is a 1-meter reflecting telescope located at Lick Observatory in the U.S. state of California.. The smaller dome on the main building at Lick had originally held the secondhand 12-inch Clark refracting telescope, the first telescope to be used at Lick.
The Carnegie telescope (i.e. Carnegie double astrograph) is a twin 20-inch (510 mm) refractor telescope located at Lick Observatory in California, United States.The double telescope's construction began in the 1930s with a grant from the Carnegie institution, although it was not completed until the 1960s when a second lens was added.
Fiber-optic Improved Next-generation Doppler Search for Exo-Earths, operating at Lick observatory since 2009; Anglo-Australian Planet Search or AAPS is another southern hemisphere planet search program. ESPRESSO is a new-generation spectrograph for ESO's VLT. Automated Planet Finder, at the Lick observatory, commissioned in 2013.
It was used for the Lick Observatory Supernova Search. [2] The KAIT is a computer-controlled reflecting telescope with a 76 cm mirror and a CCD camera to take pictures. It is located at the Lick Observatory near San Jose, California. KAIT can take close to 100 images per hour and observe about 1000 galaxies a night.
