Australian Telescope Compact Array timelapse

[alexch]

Hi All,

We did the astro-tour in July visiting Parkes, Siding Spring Observatory and ATCA in Narrabri.

I spent four days at ATCA filming for CSIRO's 25th anniversary of ATCA. 1.5 nights were clear and with three cameras I had enough footage for a 2-minute film.

I attached a few images as well.It was a great to visit the observatories and I still have some unprocessed footage from SSO.

There is an open day at ATCA September 1st and I can't recommend it highly enough - it is great to see the dishes move in unison night or day. Here is more info:

Cheers,

Really good. I have only ever been there once, during the day on our way from QLD to IISAC2013. While it was nice, it would be great to visit at night.
Although I almost feel I've been there now.
Excellent work, my daughter will love it!

My favorite was the scene from still #4.
I would love to see them move together.

Great pics and timelapse Alex. :thumbsup: Nice touch with the roos at the end. :lol: These things look like straight out of a starwars movie. What's the bright yellowish spot in the center of the antennas, some glow of some sort.

Really a wonderful timelapse with lots going on. I like the images too, particularly the composition of the 4th image is great. Thanks for the view Alex!

Thanks, Mike - much appreciated! Hopefully you get good weather when you visit them. It is a very impressive facility, during the day or at night :)

Thanks, Marc. I think these must be LEDs in the receivers.
