Hi All,
Thought this may be of interest, How bright the Milky way is and how strong the Rado Spectrum signals are looking towards the centre of our Galaxy, Sagittarius (Sag.A a radio source), The chart shows the very powerful emissions (syncrotron continuum at 650 Mhz. in this case) of 1248 Jy., I took this strip chart a few years back (before UHF TV became overpowering) of the Sky from 9 Hrs. to 20 Hrs. RA Dec. of -28 Deg, using a Ph.Sw. Interferometer & 2 x 20 foot stressed parabolic antennas (all homebrew) obtained signals down to 2 Jy. (like imaging a Mag.16 object) which was fantastic, cant do it now too much RFI, but the nice small arperture of Scopes and Cameras do a mighty job visually, Pix of Milky Way 1 x 10 Min. at ISO800 guided (taken last year).

cheers.....Jim
