Since January 2003, the Australia Telescope National Facility has accepted applications for service observations with the Ballima 70-m antenna. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the largest space telescope, made to conduct infrared astronomy.Its high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments allow it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope. As part of the Host Country agreement with NASA, a fraction of the time on the Tidbinbilla DSS-43 70-m, named Ballima, meaning 'very far away', and DSS-34 34-m antennas is available to the Australian astronomical community. The radio telescopes at Tidbinbilla are operated by the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex, part of NASA's Deep Space Network. The density of stars reached near the cores of GCs can easily exceed by several order of magnitudes the typical values found in the Galactic plane. Some observatories are complexes that host multiple telescopes at the same site.

There are 45 astronomical observatories in the state of CA that have telescopes used for astronomy research.
