Channel Ten TV segment

Hi everyone,

On Tuesday, Mark Suleau from Channel Ten News will be visiting our Observatory at Aratula, to do a segment for future airing on the News.
I will add to this post, when I find out the "On Air" date.

The site now has 2 live cameras operating and can be viewed online @ http://www.seti.org.au/ camera 2 has a great view of most of the site.
The system is primarily there for security, but we can be seen working as well. The shots are updated every 20 seconds, so a refresh is needed.

We have had a massive weekend sprucing the place up, Saturday's work included erecting the feed horn on the first 40 foot dish and can be seen online, a few more weekends spent wiring and fitting the skin will see the big dish fully operational.

We will certainly be planning a big "First Radio Wave" party for this event, with invitations going to all our sponsor's. It is what we have been working toward for the last 5 years.

Cheers

Mike.
