The ASKAP array consists of 36 antennas with antenna spacings ranging from 22m to 6km. This makes it challenging to capture all ASKAP antennas in a single image from the ground! But, as the image above illustrates, it is possible to get a good number of antennas in the one frame. This image was taken by Michael Reay earlier this week from the track leading from ak34 back towards the centre of the array. Ak34, which has Wajarri name Jinawirri (after a Wajarri Elder), is located 3.4km to the southwest of the core, and this picture was taken about 3km from the core.
