Preferred planetarium software for directing radio telescopes to point at water masers in W49 region
Recommendations from Eduard Mol: I don’t know what software you use to control the mount, but W49 is listed in Stellarium which apparently has an integration with the giant astronomical…
Which Mini Circuits low noise amplifiers would cover 6.7 ghz maser line?
For your 6.6685 GHz methanol-line receiver, the best Mini-Circuits connectorised choice is probably: Mini-Circuits ZX60-14LN-S+ Other suitable choices include: Model Frequency range Typical gain Typical noise figure Assessment ZX60-14LN-S+ 0.05–10…
Successful analysis of data from LRO-H4, the LRO version of the SETI League Horn of Plenty 27/7/2026, and message to Walsall Astronomy Group, UK.
Analysis of the data from my hydrogen horn in Lichfield has now been completed using observations collected up to 22 June. The results are very encouraging and are illustrated by…
Baseline data for PicoMuon Altitude Experiment from 70m above sea level (home base – Lichfield Radio Observatory) 03/07/26-26/07/26
This is ground level data to compliment the data to be collected at altitude during trans-atlantic flight from UK to USA on 30/7/2026. If that data is successfully collected, then…
How do water masers produce their radio signals that can be picked up on Earth by radio telescopes?
Water masers are produced when water vapour (H₂O) molecules in space act as a natural microwave laser. The word maser stands for Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Here’s…

This is a map of the area around and including NGC7635, Bubble Nebula. According to Sky Safari Pro planetarium software, the Bubble Nebula is directly in the middle of this…
How can I find the bright water maser radio source W49 on planetarium software?
W49 is a radio source rather than a single visible object. It consists of two main components: Most planetarium programs don’t label “W49” by default, but you can usually locate…
