Darn right it is quite a process - major surgery by the look of it! Makes us realise cleaning our telescope mirrors a snack really hehehe.
Thanks for the clip, If anybody wishes to visit Coonabarrabran I definately recommend taking a trip out to Siding Springs, friendly staff and awesome views. I remember the kids counting the planets posted up as large billboards as you drive up the windy road to the top. Certainly one to checkout along with Parkes of course and Narrabri's matrix of telescopes if you keep driving further north...

One day I will convince the wife...

En passant, there is a similar 1:1,000,000,000 model of the solar system on the St.Kilda->Port Melbourne foreshore.
