Mockingbird Wanted Telescopes!
So last year during one of the many trips I had done out and about ticking off things which seemed of interest I noticed an old report from a good mate of mine UrbanX I didn't want to hassle him, so I just decided to track it down an get on with it - His report is here - Which is far more better than my petty attempt

So deciding on something different this place sparked my curiosity, an soon I was muddy and walking towards them yeah they are impressive an the ones shown are not in use, despite this being a live site I soon found myself being questioned by security, they was cool and didn't pressure me to leave straight away, but I felt it I snapped all I wanted, just wish I could of climbed on one
I really should of planned seeing these better but oh well whats done is done and ticked off, this place also reminded me my sensor needed a good cleaning, but having not cleaned it for almost a year and the grubby places id happily swapped lenses over in, it is not that bad... all cleaned now though.
There is history, but I shall only place a little below, sadly not many shots either.
Home to a number of large aperture synthesis radio telescopes, including the One-Mile Telescope, 5-km Ryle Telescope, and the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager. Radio interferometry started in the mid-1940s.
The observatory was founded under Martin Ryle of the Radio-Astronomy Group of the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge and was opened by Sir Edward Victor Appleton on 25 July 1957.
Enjoy what I snapped up...
