Westerbork radio telescop

During a cold night in March i decided to drive 170km from Amsterdam to Westerbork in the east of Holland to make pictures of this radio telescope. It was a very cold night but the sky was clear with no moon. Light pollution in Holland is quite intense and it is clearly visible in those pictures. The Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope consists of a linear array of 14 antennas with a diameter of 25 meters arranged on a 2.7 km East-West line. It is located next to the Westerbork concentration camp, using by Nazis in WW2 as a transit camp and nowadays a museum.
