Yhaqtera on November 6, 2025 1:51 pm Some of those Soviet satellites are still up there. There’s no end to the possibilities!
EquivalentSpot8292 on November 6, 2025 1:54 pm Gonna buy this and point it at my neighbours house. Not even plug it in. Tell him it’s recording whenever his dog shits in my lawn.
DJOMaul on November 6, 2025 2:15 pm r/amateursatellites should buy this thing and then open up a wait list for use. Like how time on most big telescopes work.
Leakyboatlouie on November 6, 2025 2:18 pm We visited a few years ago. Pretty cool to see that big antenna, but there wasn’t much else there.
denniskerrisk on November 6, 2025 2:41 pm is it still functional? If it is working it might be a good buy.
