A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

XRT-C (for Caradon, Cornwall)

I'm not sure if I've posted this before but earlier this month they completed the installation of the 4.5m dish and turned it on, looking for hydrogen in order to weigh the galaxy.

My Satellite Setup
OpenBox X5 on a 1 meter motorized dish.
And now a 10 foot "C" band dish.

Custom built PC
My Location
Deep in the Boonies in the central Sierra Nevada mountains of California.
The total weight of the galaxy as measured by humans will be off by quite a bit as they have not been able to detect "Dark Matter", without that figure the galaxy will be much much lighter then what it should be.

They also don't have a firm figure for the mass of the super massive black hole at the center.

And if they forget to add the weight of my X wife it will be way off.
