Needed: Photo of the Parkes radio telescope

[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

Hi all

I was wondering if anyone had a good photograph that they've taken of the Parkes radio telescope, and who wouldn't mind if I used it in this month's edition of "Prime Focus" - our MAS society journal. I'd be happy to forward you a PDF copy of the journal in payment.

I'm finalising the edition over the next couple of jours, so unfortunately I need it in a bit of a hurry. If anyone is able to accommodate I'd be very grateful.

EDIT: Found - I'm using a NASA image that's in the public domain with appropriate credit - thanks anyway

I have a pic, but it will have to wait a few hours as iinet is down in my area atm. You will like it . I was in the middle of uploading when it crashed so I'm writing on my iPhone.

PPS, yes Chris you may use this unrestricted and if you need a better pic, then I can do that too, as this was just a quick shot for the fun of it.

Wow Paul! Excellent shot of the scope indeed! Do you mind if I use it next month? I'm advertising a society trip were doing to the Dish, and will obviously give full credit to the author.

[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

Looks great Paul

[Paul Haese]

No problem, glad to be of service.

[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

Brilliant. Thanks heaps Paul

Leon & Les - I'll need a couple more for the article itself, so if don't mind can I choose one from each of you?

Much appreciated!

[Groboz (Gino)]

You can have one or more of mine if you like if the quality is good enough

I did some QuickTime VR's a while back....

The files are quite large, but you can do a walk through (arrows will appear
at extra view-points) and probably get some interesting screen grabs from all sorts of angles.

Wow - thanks for the response everyone

I'll have a trawl through over the weekend and gratefully advise those who photographed the examples chosen. "Prime Focus" is starting to grow into a small colour magazine and it's scaring me. LOL
