NOISE VK3UM NOISE SOURCE PLANNER

In my other software programs , EMECalc and EME Planner, provision has been made to provide a Real Time Display of the locations of both Quiet and Noise Sources.

For those wishing to make subjective measurements and check receive performance, it would be beneficial to know the positions of the Sources in advance so the most appropriate time can be chosen commensurate to the availability and position of the Sources.

Hence the VK3UM Noise Source Planner was borne!

This software will provide (similar to the EME Planner) the ability to select the start and end dates of  when you wish to make observations as well as the calculation increment desired.

The Noise Source Planner also provides a Real Time Display of all Sources which include :

• Aquarius and Leo (Quiet Sources)
• Cassiopeia-A, Cygnus-A, Taurus-A, Virgo-A, Sagittarius-A (Noise Sources)
•  An additional range of other Super Nova remnants, Radio Galaxies and Nebulas.
• And  both the Moon and the Sun added for good measure!

For those that use a Polar Mount this may be selected as well as the conventional Azimuth / Elevation Display.

The facility for printing your calculation (in landscape) is also provided.

Enter your Home Data and then Save. The program also saves your Calculation and Display mode chosen as default.
