Paul Wild Observatory


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Paul Wild Observatory
Paul Wild Observatory
The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), at the Paul Wild Observatory, is an array of six 22-m antennas used for radio astronomy. It is located about 25 km west of the town of Narrabri in rural NSW (about 500 km north-west of Sydney).
These are two of them, they were out of service for maintenance when I captured these images.
