Last Photos - The Dish

[den]

210 feet across, 1000 tons over the azimuth track. In 1969 it was the largest telescope in the Southern Hemisphere. But what's it doing in a sheep paddock?

ah, I must admit, I haven't listened to the commentary - my dvd causes problems when it is played - the stupid disk gets stuck in the machine 9 times out of 10, and I have to physically turn the machine upside down to get it out again.

once, even that wasn't enough, and I had to take the dvd player apart - whereon I discovered that for the entire time I'd had it, since it had left the factory, it had had a test dvd stuck in it, displaced somehow and just "resting" on top of the machinery towards the back. naturally it was scuffed and scratched and unplayable by the time I retrieved it. I hoped when I removed that, that my Dish dvd wouldn't stick, but alas it still does. and even does so in my second dvd player, a more recent model.
