Meade LX200-ACF 14"(35cm) Telescope and Dome at Perth Observatory under the core of the Milky Way. This telescope is used for public Night Sky Tours (NSTs) and private Star Adoption Tours (SATs), that the author often runs. The red light arises from two small dome lights used for low-lighting during observing sessions.

This dome houses a Boller and Chivens 24" Cassegrain automated telescope that was the primary research telescope until march 2013 when WA Government funding for astronomical research at Perth Observatory ceased. The dome is awaiting some repairs in is rotational capability so that it can join the R-COP telescope as a remote telescope for research.
