The who, what, where, when, why and how of survey operations.

Who to call
If you're having trouble, please call, in this order:

  1. Mark
  2. Judy
  3. Tim
For general information, the number at cutthroat is 577-0640 (yes, it is a university number).

What to observe
The source of interest for every observing run is given in the schedule.

Where to work
At the moment, we're observing remotely using cutthroat in Lederle 623. We will hopefully soon move to either (or perhaps both) the undergrad lab on the 5th floor, or the SPS office on hte 4th floor. We will either have a set of a few shared keys, or individual copies (unlikely).

When to observe
Signup for observing time and check the schedule on the signup page.

Why are doing this?
Please refer to the mighty fine explanation of the project.

How to join the survey
Simply call or email me (see bottom of any screen on this site), or come to one of our weekly meetings. I'd like your name, email, phone number and class (junior, senior...).
