The Lick Observatory Supernova Search with the Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope

. The Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) at Lick Observatory is a fully robotic 0.76-m reflector equipped with a CCD imag ing camera. Its telescope control system checks the weather, opens the dome, points to the desired objects, finds and acquires guide stars, ex poses, stores the data, and manipulates the data without human inter vention. There is a 20-slot filter wheel, including UBVRI. Five-minute guided exposures yield detections of stars at R « 20 mag when the seeing is good (< 2").
