Abstract

We describe a system in use at the Lick Observatory 1-m Nickel telescope for near-simultaneous imaging at optical and near-infrared wavelengths. The combined availability of a CCD and a NICMOS-3 camera makes the system well-suited for photometric monitoring from 0.5-2.2 microns of a variety of astrophysical objects. Our science program thus far has concentrated on studying variability trends in young stellar objects.
