An evening at the CSIRO Compact Array in Narrabri NSW. A 6 hour drive north-north-west & lots of worried looking at the sky, as it was increasingly cloudy & eventually very rainy!!
By sunset though, the storm was departing, leaving light cloud & about 30 very relieved photographers. We were allowed to roam among 5 of the 6 telescopes & incorporate them into our photos, which made L-SP & I very happy - totally worth the price of admission
(it was free, you just had to book ahead!!)I had some annoying camera trouble & I think, in hindsight, a 30 second exposure is a touch too long, but here we are...
Arriving at sunset - 2 of the 6 dishes of the Array
The storm that had rained on us for a couple of hours, putting the whole point of the 6 hour drive in jeopardy... departing!!
Spot the Southern Cross...
Yep... 30 seconds is too long. Looked good on the small camera screen though!!We'll go back in August, armed with experience, lens cloths & warmer clothes!!
