Ooty Radio Telescope

(ORT)
(cylindrical radio telescope in India)

The Ooty Radio Telescope (ORT) is a radio telescope near Ooty in southern India that went into service in 1970. It senses a band centered on 326.5 MHz. It is a tiltable cylindrical telescope 530 meters long and 30 meters across. It has an equatorial mount, accomplished by locating it on 11-degree sloping ground, compensating for the location's 11-degree latitude. An electronics upgrade taking place since 2010 is termed the Ooty Wide Field Array (OWFA).
