Having so many eyes can often make it difficult to focus them all on one target! A bit of a nightmare for the spiderlings who are trying to take colour images of some of the jewels of the southern sky, like the Ptomley cluster. #AAOMacquarie #MQSciEng

My fellow arachnids have been “helping” with the halloween decorations. Sadly, specks of dust or strands of cobweb are perfect for scattering light. Not ideal if you are searching for the faintest objects in the Universe! #AAOMacquarie #MQSciEng

My Huntsman mascot makes a pretty good Halloween costume don’t you think? #AAOMacquarie #MQSciEng

Last time my spiderlings were working on me they forgot the set screws that hold my eyes in place and had to improvise. Their solution… Frankenbolts! Halloween costume sorted. #AAOMacquarie #MQSciEng

Happy Halloween Huntsman crew! This Halloween, spiderling Sarah took inspiration from my recent attempts at observing the source of extragalactic radio signals. When ET phones home, we’ll be watching! #AAOMacquarie #MQSciEng

I can see clearly now the rain has gone! The Huntsman team is preparing to take advantage of the break in the weather to help me squish some software bugs tonight. #SidingSpringObservatory #AAOMacquarie #MQSciEng

Episode 4 of Stardust MQ is now live, featuring Lee Spitler who chats with our host Cameron Furlong about the projects he is working on, including our beloved Huntsman Telescope! Check it out at stardustmq.podbean.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

This is Sarah - a member of the Huntsman Telescope team. She works closely with Huntsman to ensure that everything is operating smoothly, as well as conducts imaging with the telescope. The telescope wouldn’t be as amazing as it is without all her hard work!

Walk with me to Huntsman Telescope! Huntsman Telescope instagram.com/reel/CmB_o9UAt…

Lee and Sarah from the Huntsman Team welcomed the team from Canon Australia and highlighted some of the observations that can be done with the Huntsman Telescope, including the ways in which they use Canon equipment to pioneer both day and night observations.

We could sit here all day and watch Huntsman 🕷️ . . . #mqphysastro #science #huntsman #spider #telescope #zwo #canon #exoplanets #universe instagram.com/reel/CorAnHWJ_…
