Field notes
The material is arranged as a personal archive rather than a single tool: gallery, equipment notes, alignment tutorials, and a broad set of radio and geophysics projects. The author says some early astrophotography came from modest gear, and one listed SETI project explicitly refers to a telescope he does not own. The extract does not confirm which project systems are currently operating.
