Radio Eyes Help
Introduction
Radio Eyes is a special type of sky viewing
program. It was written specifically for the user who is interested
in radio astronomy. Radio Eyes helps the user visualize
emissions from the sky at the radio end of the electromagnetic
spectrum. But RE is more than just a visualization program.
It contains tools for planning radio astronomical observations.
Given an appropriate hardware interface, the advanced version (to
be made available soon) will steer radiotelescope antennas and
trigger data collection via Radio-SkyPipe at the appropriate times.
Background and radio source catalog tools allow the user to display a
variety of information sets. HTML pages may be created and shared to
showcase various catalog objects.
