Very happy to see my images and time-lapses videos taken at Siding Spring Observatory in the ABC News segment about the GALAH DR4 (Data Release 4) that was broadcasted in Australia national TV on Wednesday 2nd October 2024. Funny enough, this week I’m attending the Conference for the 50th Anniversary of the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) at Siding Spring Observatory (Coonabarabran), where I gave an invited talk about my research with KOALA+AAOmega, although at that particular time I was attending an online meeting about the exciting BlueMUSE instrument.
I want first to congratulate the GALAH team for the success of this impressive star survey conducted at the AAT with the amazing 2dF + HERMES instruments (they have compiled the spectra of almost a million stars in Milky Way. But I also but to thank GALAH for using my photos and videos, as well as Tom Carruthers (Science in Public) for contacting me for this and very kindly providing the recording of the ABC News segment.
