Southern Skies

Sydney Observatory

Night Shot of Scorpius at Sydney Observatory

Australia's Oldest Working Telescope

While traveling in Australia, we had the great opportunity to visit the Sydney Observatory.  It's in the heart of Sydney, overlooking Sydney Harbor.  A gorgeous site for an observatory, except for all the sky glow.  Despite that, we had a great time, learned a lot about the southern sky, were privileged to gaze through Australia's oldest operational telescope and even try a night shot of Scorpius outside the observatory.  All around, a fantastic time!
