Pail of Milky Way Horn Radio Telescope

[Glen Langston]

Hello Aficionados!

We’ve just released a marvelous summary of how to build a “Pail of Milky Way”
horn radio telescope.   This is described in LightWork memo 32.

https://github.com/WVURAIL/lightwork/blob/master/memos/LightWorkMemo032-PailOfMilkyWay-r5.pdf

The memo concludes with a plot of one day’s observations, showing
what you can see with a horn radio telescope.   The Doppler shifted
Cygnus and Perseus Spiral arms of the Milky Way are visible.

Comments and improvements welcomed.

Data are all obtained using Gnuradio designs available from the DSPIRA web site.

Cheers
