Mt Stromlo is only an educational facility these days is it not. With the exception of the Solar studies everything else went to Siding Spring some time ago.
I understood it was only Rob McNaught's survey at Siding Spring that was now unfunded.
It begs the question where would we be if it were not for the foresight of certain men of history who funded the studies of Galileo, Secchi et al. If it was left to today governments we would still be worried about falling off the edge of our flat earth.
