I told Farhan that the world NEEDS a homebrew Raspberry Pi observatory at Lamakaan in Hyderabad. They are on it.
This looks very do-able. And fun. And UHF. And SDR. And Raspberry Pi.
I’d like to build one too. I was encouraged by the video demo — it was done in Alexandria, Virginia, very close to where I live.
A while back I was lamenting to Dean that I reluctantly threw away a DISH or DIRECT TV satellite TV antenna. I worried that I had discarded something that would have been useful for radio astronomy. Turns out I didn’t need it. This video and the associated .pdf shows how to look at the galaxy with a simple homebrew (Home Depot!) horn.
Thanks to Thomas K4SWL of the SWLing Post for alerting us to this.
I would give anything to go back 60 years and show this to me in junior high.
