Editing Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (section)

==MOST work==
Much pioneering radio astronomy was done with this telescope. The Molonglo Cross Telescope was used for a survey of the Southern sky with a resolution of 2.8 arc-min.

The telescope's main research project was the [[Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey]] (SUMSS), a sensitive radio imaging survey of the southern sky at 843&nbsp;MHz with  similar resolution and sensitivity to the northern [[NRAO VLA Sky Survey]] (NVSS).  SUMSS is now  complete, and digital images and a source catalogue are available online.<ref>{{cite web

After a five-year break in which analog equipment was upgraded the observatory is now used to detect [[fast radio burst]]s and do research on [[pulsar]]s.<ref>{{cite web
