The Australia Telescope Compact Array

On my way home from Starfest in Coona, I spent the night at Narrabri, on the grounds of ATCA.
Despite the Moon, which didn't set until 4ish, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.
I captured the sunset reflecting off one of the dishes, during the evening I collected data for a time lapse. The Moon illuminating the dishes beautifully.
Once the Moon had set I had just under an hour of completely dark sky to catch as many shots as I could before Jupiter rose, followed not too far behind by the Sun.

Great looking photos and time lapse.

My favourite is the third photo with Orion above the dish.
