I feel like not many astronomers I meet are familiar with the Canadian DRAO which has worked on the JVLA correlators and Alma engineering and SKA and is home to the CHIME telescope as well as producing some fab all sky radio maps, so here’s some nice pics of DRAO

To follow up on my sun in #radioastronomy post, the last image was very zoomed out, like huge portion of the sky, here’s where the striped and ripples look like at the actual pointing center #Astrodon

One of the nice things about #radioastronomy is being able to observe during the day, but sometimes the sun does some not so fun things (like giant ripples across your image) #Astrodon

Being in Western Australia, which is a bit secluded even from the rest of Oz, makes getting students wanting to come here difficult. I put in 3 undergraduate summer student projects this year in hopes of convincing at least one to come back for a PhD 🤞🤞🤞#astrodon #academia #astronomy #ASKAP #EMU #radioastronomy

Was out at Uluru recently in the Australian Outback and got this fairly scent picture of the EMU in the sky with my iPhone 13.

Twitter has seemed especially toxic and all anti science, how’s things in the mastodon universe? And here’s some polarised Galactic emission from an ASKAP POSSUM field, just for something pretty to look at.

Here’s a beautiful AGN to start your week - lots of data coming in for the #EMU and #POSSUM #ASKAP surveys #Astrodon #radioastronomy

I’m still not sure I totally understand this platform but thought I should post something so here’s a radio galaxy from the ASKAP EMU survey and btw I like (radio) astronomy
