The Observatory is a 2.3m Sirius Home Model on a 2.4m square wooden base. The Observatory is situated on the outskirts of the rural town of Cootamundra, NSW, Australia in the SouthWest Slopes region with skies normally reaching an SQM reading of over 21.

Equipment consists of a Takahashi FSQ-106ED mounted on a Takahashi NJP mount with Temma 2 control, the Takahashi FC-76DS is used as a dedicated guide scope. A Moravian Instruments, G2-8300 monochrome CCD camera with Astronomics Ha, O111, S11, Hb and Luminance filters is the main imaging camera.

Visual setup is the Takahashi EM-200 mount either with the Vixen VC200L or the grab & go Takahashi FC-76 telescopes with TeleVue eyepieces.

Additional imaging equipment consists of a Takahashi FSQ-85ED with the Takahashi FS-60CB on a portable Takahashi EM-200 mount with Temma 2M for GOTO control. The SBIG ST2000XM and the Canon EOS 60Da are used with this rig.
