The Anglo-Australian Observatory operates the
Anglo-Australian and UK Schmidt
Telescopes at Siding Spring, Australia, and a laboratory on the same
campus as the ATNF in the Sydney Suburb of Epping.
The Paul Wild Observatory, near Narrabri, is part of the
Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF), and operated by the
CSIRO; the Officer-in-Charge is Dr Graham Nelson. The Narrabri site
contains the Australia Telescope Compact Array, which consists of five
antennas located along a 3-km railtrack, and a 6th antenna 3 km further
to the west.
CSIRO's Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF) is an
organisation that supports and undertakes research in radio astronomy.
It operates the Australia Telescope, the collective name for a set of
radio telescopes in New South Wales. These telescopes are used,
individually or together, to study objects in the Universe ranging from
the remains of dead stars to entire galaxies.
The CSIRO Australia Telescope National Facility operates a
group of radio telescopes collectively known as the Australia
Telescope. The ATNF Parkes Observatory consists of a 64m telescope
which is used as an independent instrument, and networked with other
Australian and international radio telescopes for VLBI.
The Automated Patrol Telescope (APT) is a wide-field CCD
imaging telescope, which is operated by the University of New South
Wales at Siding Spring Observatory, Australia.
The Australian National University runs the following
telescopes: 2.3m at Siding Springs ; 74in at Mount Stromlo ; 50in at
Mount Stromlo ; 40in at Siding Springs ; 24in at Siding Springs.
SUMSS is a deep radio survey of the entire sky south of
declination -30 degrees, made using the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis
Telescope, operating at 843MHz and recording right-circular
polarization.
SUMSS matches (approximately) the resolution and depth of the NRAO-VLA
Sky Survey (NVSS). The principal data products are mosaics which cover
a 4x4 degree square on the sky. The centres of the mosaics mirror the
NVSS centres in the north. The resolution is 45" x 45"/sin(dec), and
the rms noise limit varies from 1.3 to 2mJy/beam (lower toward the
south celestial pole).
The survey began in March 1997 and will take eight years to complete.
SUMSS is suported by funding from the Australian Research Council.
The primary reference for a description of the survey is: Bock,
D., Large, M. and Sadler, E.
This is the first remote controlled telescope by internet
with live images and free photos with long exposure. Register for free

High Quality CCD Images of Messier Objects
gathered at a variety of observatories by the maintainer . Some
amateur CCD images obtained at the Pine Mountain Observatory can
be found here as well.
Provides information on current (bright) comets including recent
observations and ephemeridies. Images and light curves of current and
past comets are also available.
Deep-sky.Org includes deep-sky images, taken by well known
astrophotographers from around the world. It features a large and
complete graphical Messier object reference.
Publicly released images from post-servicing observations by
Hubble Space Telescope. The images in this directory are in GIF format
which supports up to 256 colors (8-bits). They include 30 Doradus, 47
Tucanae, Comet 1993e, Eta Carinae, Mars, M31, M87, M100, NGC1068,
NGC2440, NGC6624, NGC7252, Nova Cygni, Orion (incl. animation),
QSO1220+204, the Saturn storm, SL-9, SN1987A (with rings), and SN1994I.
The images have originally been made available by the Office of Public Outreach of
the Space Telescope Science Institute.
