From Sheep Shed to Radio Observatory

This is a presentation from the opening of the Rosse Solar-Terestrial Observatry in Birr Castle in June 2014. It shows how we started with a sheep shed (with sheep!) in 2010 to operating a working solar radio observatory in 2014. The presentation also includes images of the proposed Irish LOFAR radio telescope and associated visitor centre which we are fundraising for. You can find further details on the I-LOFAR project at www.lofar.ie.
