摘要：
The story of the birth and construction of the 2.3m Telescope at Siding Spring Observatory is told. Details of the intricate control system of the telescope, building and instrumentation are described. The Telescope encompassed all the features of the New Generation Telescopes of the late 1970s: a thin primary mirror, an alt-azimuth mount and a rotating building. It has operated continuously for 28 years, used by Australian and international astronomers. It has a prodigious science output helped by state of the art instrumentation developed by engineers and astronomers at Mt Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories.
