Australia Telescope Compact Array – Night Photography Sessions
2023-09-09 17:30 - 23:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Australia Telescope Compact Array, 1828 Yarrie Lake Road, Narrabri, NSW, 2390, Australia
Night Photography
We understand that people are interested in coming to the site to photograph the telescopes and the night sky. We remind the public though that the site shuts to the public at 5pm daily, and that staying overnight is strictly prohibited. This is primarily for the safety of the public and the equipment on site.
CSIRO do however host photographers in the evening roughly once per month while the Milky Way is visible and the Moon does not wash out the stars.
These events are free of charge, but bookings are essential and you must indicate your attendance via email prior to the evening so we can make appropriate preparations. During these events, you will be able to cross the fence and get better vantage points, under staff supervision.
Please email narrabri@csiro.au to book your place.
To view the schedule of nights in 2023 please visit https://www.narrabri.atnf.csiro.au/public/
We are currently unable to make special arrangements for groups at any other time.

ADFAS Narrabri 2023 - Mucha & the Slav Epic, Mythical past to visionary future
2023-09-11 18:30 - 22:00 | NSW
Arts talk with Kathy McLauchlan. Arrival 6.30pm for 7.00pm start, Cinema 1, Crossing Theatre.
Mucha & the Slav Epic – Mythical past to visionary future.
Many of us are familiar with Alfonse Mucha as an outstanding figure of fin-de-siècle Paris, the poster designer who made actress Sarah Bernhardt immortal, and who turned advertising into an art form. Less well known is the work to which Mucha devoted more than twenty years of his life, and which he regarded as his most greatest accomplishment. The Slav Epic, a series of 20 enormous canvases was first shown in 1928 and presented a visual history of the Slavs from their mythical past to their visionary future. Mucha conceived his work as a gift to Prague and the Czech people: ”I wanted”, he said, ”to talk in my own way to the soul of the nation”.
Kathy McLauchlan is a course director at the Victoria & Albert Museum, organising courses and study days on the history of art and design. She teaches at several institutions, including the Arts Society and Art Pursuits. A graduate of Oxford University and the Courtauld Institute, she has published catalogues and articles for the British Council and the Barbican Art Gallery.
