This is a passion project started over on r/radioastronomy. Our goal is to purchase this telescope, relocate it, and modernize it’s current analog control system with encoders and drivers. We will then create an online portal where anyone can schedule observing time and automatically receive a data package containing the calibrated data with basic visualizations.
If anyone is interested in following the project, chatting about radio astronomy, or has connections to any universities who might be interested in sponsoring the project, join our discord! https://discord.gg/T5F6AG26tE
I’ll be happy to answer any questions in the comments 🙂
