Siding Springs Observatory, Coonabarabran, November 2006

Coonabarabran is the observatory capital of Australia so we couldn't miss the opportunity to do the tour. There are 11 telescopes here in total doing all sorts of wonderful & interesting things - we totally recommend the tour.

Classic! "Quiet" sign. I wonder if one of those would work for the noisey trucks in our back ally?...
