After recent rains, the skies cleared up for the weekend's
Long Baseline Array observing.
The image above, taken with the Mopra skycam,
shows the band of the Milky Way, with the constellation
Orion visible to the north west. Sirius, the brightest
star in the night-time sky, is just north of the zenith,
and the Large Magellanic Cloud can be seen about halfway
to the horizon just east of due south.
(Why is East to the left and West to the right? Because
we are looking up into the sky and not down onto a map.)
