The 4.6 meter Andrew parabolic is in active use for our School of Galactic Radio Astronomy educational program, and has a 1.42GHz hydrogen RF chain and spectrometer. This telescope is currently internet controllable through a Java applet in-browser (the applet doesn't work with the F8 java stack, unfortunately), and with a custom java servlet backend.
Is the java applet available somewhere? I'm wondering why it's not working with IcedTea java.
The login page is at http://smileycontrol.pari.edu/smiley
I can't test past this page, because the username and password fields cannot take my data entry.
We have a number of other programs; you can see the breadth of them on our website at www.pari.edu
That's a nice gear. I hope to have chance visit your institute if I'm around someday. :)
I'd be glad you show you around.
Regarding Iraf, x11iraf is under review, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=249614 Since one month I'm trying to contact Mr. Romanovski, which after years of studies in US, is back in Russia.
PyEphem and GNU Radio are on our wish list as well and I hope I'll package it.
If someone is interesting in packaging GNU/Radio, Trond's spec file is available at http://trondd.fedorapeople.org/spec_files/.
I grabbed it a little while ago. PyEphem shouldn't be hard, either. Depending upon how the rest of this week goes, I might take a crack at it by the end of the week.
Please, don't hesitate to come to our next meeting, so we can discuss what Fedora do for pari.edu.
I appreciate the great attitude! But I will, as a long time Fedora user, also see what PARI can do for Fedora.
I would be willing, for sure, to provide mirror space and bandwidth for an Astronomy spin, although I can't commit right now to a full Fedora mirror (and the bandwidth usage that entails). Got 100Mb/s to the Internet and I2, and 40+TB of disk.
Well, this one I'll have to admit; I _am_ an IRC newbie. Never had the need before to do IRC; guess I have some stuff to learn. Can't be much more difficult than learning how to run a CNews site in 1991 was..... I've always been an e-mail guy, not a chat guy....
