+26 to -90 dec

Hi Matthew,

The minimum elevation above the horizon of the dish is 30.5 degrees.

As the observatory it is at 33 deg S latitude, the furthest north in declination it can look is about +26.5 deg.

So in the end in can see whe whole sky between -90 declination and +26 declination. Anything further north that about +26 degrees declination can't be examined.

Hope that helps,


Best,
