Radio telescope tour
We will again have a tour of the National Radio
Astronomy Observatory's facilities at Green Bank, West Virginia.
The 2010 tour will be a "behind-the-scenes" tour, so participants will get to visit labs and the telescope control room--locations that are normally off-limits to the public!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Cameras are welcome at NRAO. In order to prevent radio-frequency interference to observations in progress, the observatory prohibits the use of digital cameras (and electronics-laden film cameras) in some locations close to the telescopes. Bring a simple film camera if you'd like to get some pictures up close to the instruments.
New for 2010! Radiotelescope Observing
NOVAC has arranged for access to NRAO's 40-foot educational dish on Saturday, September 4. Participants will stay overnight at NRAO and
return to the main AHSP site Sunday morning..
No prior radioastronomy experience is required; NRAO will provide instruction and support.
Space is very limited!
