We're Titan Astronomical Observatory, a small Florida nonprofit with the goal of purchasing a 10m radio telescope, modernizing it's control system, and building a user-friendly web portal; allowing anyone to learn radio astronomy and schedule observing time.
So what is Radio Astronomy anyways? Swipe through for the who, what, and why of our favorite topic - Radio AstronomyðŸ”
To dig in deeper, check out this National Radio Astronomy Observatory article at: https://buff.ly/V3cmrbP
If you're interested in building a similar mount for your own radio telescope, a full write-up including 3D files and code will be posted on our community forum once it's operational: https://community.titanobservatory.org
Titan Observatory is building a proof-of-concept for our remote observation platform.
The goal is to offer a public demo on our website, including real-time control of this 2.3m telescope and a simple guided observation of the hydrogen line.
The Titan Observatory is now a federally recognized 501(c)(3)!
This gives us a stronger foundation for fundraising, partnerships, and grant opportunities as we continue working toward our mission to make radio astronomy accessible.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the project, shared it with others, offered advice, donated, or simply followed along. Reaching this point would not have been possible without that support!
