How does the array work in practice?
[edit]Some information on exactly how the system works would be most helpful. For example, how do 5 dishes spread out over 3 miles work with the one that is fixed 3 km away from the track? How are the five spread out on the track to accomplish various bits of radio astronomy? Evenly? in bunches? or what? N2e (talk) 15:19, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

[edit]Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:CSIRO ScienceImage 3881 Five Antennas at Narrabri - restoration1.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on February 5, 2020. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2020-02-05. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks!

This photograph, showing five of the Australia Telescope Compact Array's dishes, was taken around 1984, in the late phase of the construction process. It is a long-exposure photograph taken in darkness in the late evening; during the exposure, the photographer, John Masterson, walked around the dishes firing off over 130 flashes using a hand-held flash gun.Photograph credit: John Masterson, CSIRO; restored by Bammesk
