It's about 80cm. The idea of radio astronomy has always intrigued me but I suspect the gee-whiz factor in listening the Jupiter hiss and the sun bubble would wear off fairly rapidly. If that was as much as you could reasonably expect without a major investment, I think I would rather buy a new CCD.
