Coonabarabran
The 2018 NSAS Field Trip took a 31-member strong group to Coonabarabran for a weekend of visits and astronomical observation and imaging.
Friday night saw us heading to the Milroy Observatory where, with the help of Donna, we were able to use their dobsonian telescopes, including a 20inch one.
I took advantage of the free Saturday morning to explore a couple of walking trails in the Warrumbungle National Park.
The afternoon was devoted to the visit of the Siding Spring Observatory where, thanks to our guide Amanda, we discovered the Faulkes Telescope South of the Las Cumbras Observatory, the I.telescope installations and, the pièce de résistance, the enormous Anglo-Australian Telescope with its 3.9m mirror.
For those of us who had brought their own telescopes, Saturday night brought a great deal of excitement and, sometimes, of disappointment and frustration when all did not work according to plan.
For those, who like me hadn’t taken their scopes with them, the awesome sight of the Milky Way in this unpolluted sky will stay in our memories long enough to make this trip well worthwhile.
L'excursion de la Northern Sydney Astronomical Society pour 2018 a amené un groupe de 31 de ses membres à Coonabarabran pour un week-end de visites et d'observation et d'imagerie astronomiques.
Vendredi soir, nous a vu à l’observatoire de Milroy où, avec l’aide de Donna, nous avons pu utiliser leurs télescopes dont un de 50cm.
Personnellement, j'ai profité du samedi matin libre pour explorer quelques sentiers de randonnée dans le parc national de Warrumbungle.
L'après-midi a été consacrée à la visite de l'Observatoire de Siding Spring où, avec l'aide de notre guide Amanda, nous avons découvert le télescope Faulkes Sud de l'observatoire de Las Cumbras, les installations de I.telescope et, la pièce de résistance, l’énorme Télescope anglo-australien avec son miroir de 3,9m.
Pour ceux d’entre nous qui avaient amené leurs télescopes, le samedi soir a suscité beaucoup d’enthousiasme et, parfois, de déception lorsque tout ne fonctionnait pas comme prévu.
Pour ceux qui comme moi n’avaient pas pris leurs télescopes avec eux, rien que de pouvoir admirer la Voie Lacté dans toute sa splendeur valait le déplacement.

The Pilliga Forest - Icons Under Threat Part 4
The Pilliga Forest is part four of a six-part documentary titled Icons Under Threat.

The video is a follow-up on a report 36-page report of the same title published in November 2011. A copy is available here: nccnsw.org.au/icons-under-threat-report
A day in the vast Pilliga Forest
???????? WHAT: A day in the Pilliga Forest. ???? WHERE: Just east of the town of Baradine in Western NSW. ❄ WHEN: We travelled in winter. Expect very cold mornings. Have a jacket handy. ❓❓ WHY: To see the largest remaining wild forest in NSW and see the beautiful Sculptures in the Scrub. ???? HOW: I travelled in the ever reliable little Suzuki Jimny (Suzuki Australia ) which more than managed the rough roads and sandy creek crossings. ⏰ TIME: You will need to allow a full day by the time you get there and meander about. ???? DISTANCE: I did at least 100km inside the Pilliga Forest plus to and from the forest to Coonabarabran. ???????????????? FOOD: You must take your own food and plenty of water. ???? TOILETS: There are toilets at Salt Caves and Sculptures in the Scrub. ⚠️ SAFETY: ????️ Let someone know where you are going. ☝️ Check in at the Pilliga Discovery Centre to check road conditions and get directions and a map. Stick to the main roads. ???? Mobile coverage is patchy. READ MORE:

Welcome to Coonabarabran // Under The Milky Way (2016)
Here's a collection of shots we took of the beautiful regional NSW town of Coonabarabran whilst on location filming Under The Milky Way.
======================================================
Helene McKenzie resides in the NSW regional town of Coonabarabran and is an avid astronomer just like her father was, working in the observatory that overlooks her small town. When a nearby and much newer observatory threatens its funding and research grants, Helene's observatory is in danger of being shut down. Helene actively fights its closure and along with her team of misfit colleagues, she attempts to rally her small home town behind her. Plagued by a corrupt local council and hindered by a lazy town mayor, Helene's prospects of saving her observatory are slim. When tragedy strikes on the eve of a big breakthrough, Helene may get the chance to save more than just her beloved observatory..

RECLAIM : Connect to Protect / EPISODE 1
Fire Mane & Shapeshifter capture the HEART of the story at the Pilliga State Forest, NSW Australia.
The loathsome Coal Seam Gas industry proposes to rip through the sacred lands of the Gamileraay people of indigenous Australia, obliterating land, animals, ancient sacred sites and poisoning Australia's largest aquifer, the Great Artesian Basin.
Episode 1 introduces Uncle Paul Spearim, environmental activist of the Gamileraay and passionate lore carrier for his people.
In a land already so desperately dry, how can anyone justify this idiotic, corporate greed and stupidity, jeopardising our nation's future water supply?
ACTIVATE Australia. Awaken NOW from the apathetic attitude that someone else is going to stop it and RISE! We are a powerful people and our future generations are counting on us!
