Dear All,

For those of you interested, the first science observations with the
Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope in Western Australia and a
new radio telescope in New Zealand have been undertaken by the
Australasian VLBI team, including: CSIRO; the International Centre for
Radio Astronomy Research at Curtin University of Technology; AUT
University in Auckland; and The University of Tasmania.

A number of targets were successfully observed and imaged, including
Centaurus A, the subject of a press release:

Journal papers describing the results of these observations are
currently in preparation.

Cheers,
Steven
