Building a radio telescope
From DorkbotLondon
One of the possible workshops
Gavin Starks mentioned the possibility of building a radio telescope during the camp but isn't sure if he'd have time to lead it himself... What was the idea, Gavin?

Well, something like this might be a bit ambitious. I was thinking of something a bit more along the lines of a static array that the likes of Jocelyn Burnell (scroll 1/2 way down) built to help discover Pulsars.... (aside - I used to work at Jodrell Bank )
There are some good DIY links here and here
Then I was thinking wouldn't it be fun to try and correlate with an existing hypertelescope such as MERLIN - at least "in principle"...
