I am interested in your Astronomy Spin package for use in controlling some radio astronomy work i am planning. I need a way to plan observation schedules and then to control a dish antenna and collect and catalog data for later analysis. I think your Spin tool as stated is mainly for optical viewing but it should be possible for me to apply it for my needs without too much effort I feel. It beats me having to develop something from scratch. It will also have some capabilities I had not thought of including I hope.
This is an self funded amatuer effort on my part so I am making slow but steady progress.
I do not think I will be able to use the data analysis tools but I will try them out and make sure I know what is possible.
On the Merging of the groups….
Feedback here has been slow. I am mostly interested in Astronomy and worry that the merger may turn into a distraction. I really do not know anything about the other group though.
I subscribe to Nature and Nature Physics. In those publications they cover a lot of ground and I find myself focused on Astronomy/Cosmology but occasionally reading other things. I mention this because it seems like a similar idea will take place if the merger goes forward.
Thanks for all your efforts.
Best Regards,
Bob Stricklin
