The 2.3 metre telescope at Siding Spring Observatory is operated by the Australian National University.

[1][2] The optical telescope has Altazimuth mount and a primary mirror with a focal length of f/2.05.

[2] It is housed in a box-shaped building which rotates as the telescope tracks objects.

It is also a valuable tool for training students in the astronomical observing techniques.

[3] The light mirror and rotating design allows the telescope to be rapidly moved as observations are made.
