Project MK21: Astro Viseu Conference 2016

Sábado, 10 de Setembro de 2016, em Vila Chă de Sá Portugal, an Astronomy convention was organized by Ofiuco.

Instead of binoculars and (solar) telescopes I offered to show my portable radio telescope.

Much Later, after dark, most people came to show their own optical telescopes.

Some people were interested to kow what was inside the bucket.

Then I saw this:

Because of this mobile phone tranceiver system there was a lot of RFI, and I had to filter that out with software.

Here are some first results.

Fig.7 - H1 + a lot of RFI

Fig.8 - More 5 minute lines

Fig.9 - Heavy filtered lines and sum

Fig.10 - When you wait 24 hours and good filtering you get this

For the persons interested I had made a certificate, as a proof of involvement.

See you perhaps next time on the Torre of the Serra da Estrela.
