The principal telescope of the Observatory consists of four individual antennas, each 9 metres in diameter. They are situated along an east-west line 600 metres in length and two of the antennas are moveable along a railway track. Working together as a team, these four antennas form the equivalent of a single telescope more than half a kilometre in diameter.
