   Dear Lick Observatory 2017B AO observers, 
    
   We invite you to participate in our Uranus and Neptune observing program this 
   semester, by taking an hour of observations during your night. This is a 
   continuation of a similar program started in 2016B and 2017A. 
    
   The program, ShARCS-NGS program S000 (PI Tollefson, UCB graduate student), is 
   run entirely on a "Voluntary ToO" basis by Lick AO observers during the 2017B 
   semester. The program takes one hour to run, and images Uranus and Neptune in 
   H and Ks bands with AO (NGS). In 2016B and 2017A, we received data on almost 
   three dozen nights and have gotten a number of excellent images! We hope this 
   continues through 2017. 
    
   On your scheduled observing nights, please consider whether you would be able 
   to dedicate an hour to run our program. Our targets are bright, and the 
   program is well-suited for times such as twilight or marginal weather - we 
   hope in particular that you will consider running the program during times 
   such as these that may not be suitable for your own science objectives. We 
   offer co-authorship on publications resulting from the data according to the 
   policy described in the attached pdf. 
    
   Information about the program, including detailed observing instructions, can 
   be found in the attached pdf. The document is also posted on our program 
   website, which includes ephemerides for all 2017B AO nights: 
    
   http://mtham.ucolick.org/NeptuneUranus/ 
    
   We would be grateful for your participation (or continued participation) in 
   this program. Let me know if you would like email reminders before your 
   observing nights, and feel free to contact me with any questions! 
    
   Sincerely, 
    
   Joshua Tollefson (UC Berkeley)
