Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF)
A set of eight radio telescopes that can be operated individually or as group. Six of the telescopes make up the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), located at the Paul Wild Observatory near Narrabri. Each of these antennas has a reflecting surface with a diameter of 22 m. A further 22-m antenna, known as the Mopra Telescope, is located near Coonabarabran. The Australia Telescope also includes the 64-m radio telescope at the Parkes Observatory, which has been in use 1961.
