Searching the skies..

Can you guess by the pic of The Atlas Coelestis above where we were heading on Thursday? If you guessed the Perth Observatory you were spot on. I can't believe that it's our first visit..

The Perth Observatory in Bickley is WA's oldest observatory, entered on the Heritage Register in 2005. If you are interested you can read more about some of the important research that has been completed at the observatory here. I climbed the dome that houses the  Lowell Automated Telescope Dome below, installed the 1970's, to take the overall pic. The collage just a few of the many fascinating objects in the Observatory building. Life on other planets.. absabloominlutely don't you think :) Happy Saturday, take care and stay safe..
