Info Five antennas of the Australia Telescope Compact Array, near Narrabri, NSW. Photograph taken in the early 1980s, during the late stages of the construction process. Long exposure, lit by walking under the antennas with a flash. You can read more about the taking of this image on page 10 of this document. This is the photograph of the ATCA, used in old CSIRO media releases, so along with its historical and aesthetic value I think it deserves featuring.

Support Not as sharp and large as we're used to but still excellent considering its age and the technical possibilities when it was taken. --Code (talk) 06:25, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Per Code and its historic importance. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:10, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Remarkable image. But on reading the linked document, the duration of the photograph isn't given whereas the "130" figure refers to the number of flashes fired during the exposure. I've amended the file description page. -- Colin (talk) 09:37, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thank you @Colin: excellent detective work. I rushed the research in my haste to put this nomination up. I've changed the description here too. Oops! :) -- Thennicke (talk) 12:43, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

weak support While I'd prefer a sharper image, I support given the year that the photo was taken. --Pine^✉ 19:50, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
