An optical astronomy-nut friend says that you can see pulsars (or at least some of them) in the visible. The setup is a spinning disk with holes in it. Adjust the speed of rotation until it beats with the pulsar. I think you need a small telescope for the bright pulsars. Clearly within the budget and skills of a not-very-nut, but probably takes at least a somewhat-nut to think it is cool enough to do. -------- Re nighttime... One of the advantages of radio astronomy is that it works during the day and when it is cloudy, an interesting bargaining chip when fighting for funds. -- These are my opinions.
