¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI used to pay for access to Siding
Spring Observatory scopes via and it
was a very useful, if expensive, way to avoid my local light
pollution issues for optical astronomy. I didn't know there were
options to get time on professional radio instruments, very
interesting.?
There are some small radiotelescopes
with remote access, but they are limited size and frequency range.
and
are two I'm aware of.
I think
were working on an interferometer interface unit for their
dishes/drives/receivers/spectrometers, that could get interesting,
at least for folks with deep pockets.? I'd love to find some other
folks within 10-200 km of my location in East Yorkshire who would
like to try some VLBI linking of amateur radiotelescopes for
pulsar observations. The technical contraints are challenging to
put it mildly!
I advise choosing your life partner
VERY carefully, selecting only those who will be entirely
accepting of mad antenna projects in the garden. My late wife was
totally chilled about all of my skyhook projects, never even
raising an eyebrow in the 37 years we were together, despite
dishes, 100ft masts, yagi arrays and 200 metre long wire antenna
systems and a couple of miles of ground screen for VLF.
Anyone else know of subscription deals
for similar radio telescopes, preferably with a range of
frequencies suited to pulsar observations (2/4/8 GHz pref)
