Visit to The Dish, Parkes and an award to Paul Haese

This morning we went to the Dish, 20km north of Parkes.
Amazing, we saw the old control panel, and I saw an astrophoto exhibition and one of the pictures were two images of Saturn made by forum member Paul Haese.
I purchased the Astronomy Guide 2018 for $25, just for curiosity, but it is a nice one. I am amazed that there is still a market for it (in Europe and South Africa similar yearbooks are sold) in an era with star charting apps which can even be used offline, including a list of celestial events (Mobile Observatory Pro). I use Skysafari, Stellarium and this app.
