The Mount Pleasant Observatory is run by the Physics Department of the University of Tasmania and is located 20 km East of Hobart, the capital of Tasmania. The Observatory is equipped with two antennas, a 26 m and a 14 m which are both prime focus instruments.
The 26 m telescope is at latitude 42 48' 18'' S, longitude 147 26' 21'' (east of Greenwich) and is 43 m above sea level.
The telescope is used for a variety of research projects within the University and its location makes it a vital element in the Australian Long Baseline Array (LBA) VLBI network.
