Also if anyone really wants to get into this take a look in your local area for an amateur observatory. Not too sure how common they are but this is the one near me http://www.graaa.org/veen.html . For some reason west michigan has quite a bit in the way of astronomy facilities. Hell the middle school I went to out here has its own planetarium.

Markov Chain Chomp posted:What sort of rig does it take to get into radioastronomy at even the beginner level? Is there some way to pick up a used satellite tv antenna and attach some sort of amplifier to it or do you need something considerably bigger/with more gain? I'm actually not sure whether to post this in this thread or the radio thread, actually, but it seems a bit more appropriate here. I think you are going to need a sat dish at least as large as an old C-Band one. There isn't a ton of amateur radio astronomy stuff out there.
