Please remember this is a friendly forum. Let’s try to keep it that way. 

I see nothing wrong with asking a question like that.  It was clear from the paper what was being done so I questioned his interpretation.

One of the points when this was originally identified, is that this is a wide angle (almost 10° wide) field image taken using narrow band filters for long exposures. 

In the old phrase; "Pick two of the  three" - there are not that many professional instruments that can manage such widefield imaging (without having to take multiple images and mosaicking them) - it is very hard to get auth to allocate multiple hours of time on any target.

What part of "ask them their opinion" was hard for you to take onboard?

Why doesn't somebody ask the professionals for their opinion, such as Mark McCaughrean the Senior Scientific Advisor to ESA?

I came across this site https://www.radio2space.com/product/spider-230c-compact-radio-telescope/ and I was wondering how pointing and tracking is achieved.

In the box below the main image it lists the kit contents. The software is annotated as being for control/acquisition.

"RadioUniversePRO control and acquisition software for Windows 10/11, designed to control all devices of SPIDER radio telescope and to collect radio astronomy data."

Why on earth is a £3.5K mount so poorly setup before delivery?

I love that image, the subtlety makes it stand out instead of bright red blobs making it "stand out".  Less is more, well done.

No you didn't.  You got helpful advice to look beyond SGL if you didn't get an answer here.

Thanks for the poimter. I posted the problem there and await a response from someone sensible!

That's pretty damn rude!

Yeah it's nuts what posting something costs to the average Joe on the street, especially something massive and bulky like a telescope! Amazingly FLO can charge £8 for courier delivery whether it's a 30kg, two-box telescope setup, or just an envelope with a filter. Shows the bargaining power a business has with the express couriers vs one person!

Have a look at https://www.parcelmonkey.co.uk/

I use them a lot. They have bulk purchase power and pass it on to the little man. You can get the parcel collected from your location as well.

The big bang happened everywhere at once. I will not be responding to this thread any more. Bye. If I could block you I would!

Firstly, the Universe does not have a diameter. It also does not have a centre.  I really am not even sure where to start with your "theory".
