The  South African Astronomical Observatory  outside the village
of Sutherland as seen from the air and looking towards the south
west.
The turret of the 74-inch telescope is at left foreground whilst
three  domes  may  be  seen  running  left to right  and getting
progressively larger , starting with  the  20-inch  reflector on
the left, the  30-inch reflector in  the middle and the  40-inch
reflector at the right.      Another two small domes may be seen
lying perpendicular to the three already mentioned   (below left
centre) and these  are  the  solar monitoring  telescope  run by
the  University of  Birmingham , England,  and the  30- inch APT 
telescope currently under construction.   Other buildings on the
observing  plateau  include  a  seismograph  and  a time service 
building as well garages for the observers cars. 

Just above centre can be seen a row of houses- these lie actually
in a valley and cannot be seen from the telescope plateau- and
these house resident staff ( non astronomers ).
