What radio observation of core collapse supernovae tells us about the life and death of the star

Back in 2017 Eduard decided to build a modular 3 metre dish. This dish could be assembled for observation projects during periods of favourable weather. When not in use the parts could be stored in a shed, safe from rain and storms. In this presentation he will cover the construction and evolution of the dish, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of such a modular setup. Observation results will also be presented. If weather allows, a demo showing the observation of the hydrogen line will be performed.
