@Kiwinan,
Hard to help if you don't put the clues.
The radio telescope at Parkes is the setting for the movie The Dish if that helps.

@Pearlylustre,
Sorry, the clue is "discovered a decanter is cracked" and I have
ASC - - - - - NED. Is it ascertained ?
43ac clue is "Parkes' original tale about 'The Dish'
hope you can help Pearlylustre

@cherrie,
Thank you cherrie - you are a gem. I am returning to cryptics after a break of about 10 years and have found this one really hard; just 3 to go to finish it - sure is a challenge.
Thank you for your help.
