The arms of the Milky Way are beginning to emerge in my 1420Mhz radio telescope using ezRA software and 86

I decided to see what output came out of the AD8302 phase comparator on my interferometer board – no aerials.

Results of my first mapping exercise of Milky Way at 1420.405Mhz from Lichfield, UK, covering available sky in this area.

“Completed” Radio Interferometer Receiver for 1420.405MHz Hydrogen work……well, I say completed = also needs 2 x coax cables with SAWBird+

I was invited to speak to the British Astronomical Association Radio Astronomy Group on my hydrogen line radio astronomy work

See below for current progress on construction: My interferometer is based on Jan Lustrup’s Simple Digital Interferometer – Schematic below.
