Description
Raw observations from a university radio telescope, recorded to tape and never fully analysed.
Provenance
Found during a house clearance in East Cedarstead and passed to Lazarus. The tape was sticky with binder breakdown and was baked at low temperature before a single careful read. About 72 percent of the data could be read; the gaps are mapped.
