Multi-Beam Data Recorder Status
This point in the sky has been covered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Here is an image of the night sky centered around these coordinates (click on the image for another with more resolution): 
* The SETI multibeam data recorder collects data by piggybacking on the Arecibo ALFA receiver. ALFA is one among several receivers at Arecibo (there are transmitters as well) and is only turned on part of the time. The data recorder usually runs at all times but only records data when the ALFA receiver is on. At other times the recorder idles but watches for ALFA to come on, at which time recording resumes. |

** results that exited early due to excessive noise Signals Already Found at Current Telescope Sky Position***
*** All signals previously found by SETI@home that fall within 0.0500 degrees of where Arecibo Observatory is currently pointing (coordinates taken 0 minutes ago). If we are recording data, these numbers will eventually increase. **** Multiplets are groups of signals of the same type seen over multiple different observations which also fall within a small frequency window (10.0000 Hz). They are statistically common, even in random noise, and typically are caused by RFI, but nevertheless score better when compared to lone signals. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
