Microwave Imager / Mini Radiotelescope Part 2

This is a follow up to my Tailgater satellite dish microwave imager (Part 1 here: https://youtu.be/lVOTZxNCgTM). In this video I've increased the resolution, attempted to repair a second antenna, and tried out some suggestions from Github users. While only some of these things have been partly successful, it still seemed like an interesting follow up.

The original project involved converting a portable satellite antenna into a microwave imager or Ku band "camera". This motorized dish scans and records signal strength to create a heat map of microwave radio energy. It's great for seeing satellites in geostationary orbit and creating images from reflected microwave energy.

More information on this project is available on my website: https://saveitforparts.wordpress.com/2023/03/29/a-cheap-and-relatively-easy-microwave-imager-radiotelescope/

The code (including the latest high-resolution updates) is available for free on Github: https://github.com/saveitforparts/Tailgater-Microwave-Imaging

Recently @ahopefulchris has been doing a similar project. Check out his first video here: https://youtu.be/i_LbI49jbR0
