I've found another use for the homemade Rasperry Pi tricorder I built last year. This time we're using the LNB from a satellite dish to pick up KU-band radio beacons from Starlink internet satellites! While we can't actually get internet this way, we can watch the progress of satellites across the sky and see recently-launched Starlink "trains".

The LNB I'm using is a "Universal" type, available here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/234269625431
