Mainly posters from the Deep Space Radio Telescope at Parkes NSW Australia

Photographs taken of Astro Fest Photo Competition entries at the Parkes Radio Telescope Visitor's Centre

Photographs of the moon taken with my camera Fujifilm S5000 mostly in rural NSW Australia.

Experimenting with different shutter speeds and apertures.

The Parkes radio telescope, the biggest in the southern hemisphere.

The movie "The Dish" starring Sam Neill was based on the Parkes telescope's key role in the Apollo 11 Moon landing.

It has a dish of 64 meters in diameter and weighs 1000 tons.
It is situated near Alectown, 25 kilometres north of the town of Parkes,
New South Wales, Australia, which is approximately 380 kilometres west of Sydney.
It is 6 kilometres off the Newell Highway, the main road from Parkes to Dubbo.
Latitude = 32° 59' 59.866" north, longitude = 148° 15' 44.359" east, elevation = 392 m.

See three-dimensional planet models along the way as you shuttle from Pluto at the furthest reaches of the Solar System to the Sun, which is represented by the 37-metre Anglo-Australian Telescope dome at Siding Spring Observatory.

The planets are displayed on huge billboards with the size of the planets and the distance between each billboard scaled relative to the dome – the Sun - along the five main roads that lead to Coonabarabran in regional NSW. You can also learn interesting facts about the Solar System and the unique features of each planet – did you know that it rains sulphuric acid on Venus?
