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 with a

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

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.
