Nice. didn't realise prime focus dishes were available in such a small size.

yes you can get some small prime focus dishes, smallest i've seen is a 1.2m precision dish,

the motor on it looks like a jaeger smr 128 36volt motor

There is the Arcon Sweety, does that count as a prime focus?
only 43cm. Cassegrain or something?

wod · 27-11-07, 11:08 PM

yes that arcon sweetie is a cassergrian antenna

They work quite well, apparently.

madrat · 28-11-07, 05:08 PM

forgot about them, apparently they are not affected by rain like normal dishes, whether thats true or not

Don't think that is true. Because the attenuation occurs in the atmosphere between the dish and the sattellite.

More efficient than normal prime focus dishes apparently.

I wouldn't mind testing one, but I think I would be too embarrassed to have a dish called 'Sweety'.
