Easy build radio telescope.

Hi all,
I have been given one of those roof mounted TV dishes and I want to see if I can use it to listen to the sun or Jupiter, or any other easy to find target.
I have an AM coms receiver just collecting dust with a range of 0hz to 30Mhz.
Will this be ok and will I need wave guide from the antenna to the receiver of just some coax.
The websites that I have found all talk about low noise amps, are these needed and doesn't the radio already have them?
Simple questions I know and probably some obvious answers!
Thanks for any help.

mike.
