SETI Goes to Arecibo To Stat *Candidates*

Neuropol writes "In the most rescent Seti@home news letter. Seti recieved (only!) 24 hours of telescope time at Arecibo to investigate interesting points in the sky where signals have not only shown up once but several times in data crunches in the last 4 years. The Planetary Society web site has an excellent summary of the reobservations. The Seti web site lists the reobservation targets and the 7,000 users whose computations directly contributed to finding them."

Re:exactly what i was wondering

They use the earth's rotation as one axis of movement, plus they can move the reciever around (it is hanging from cables).
Naturally, the second is rather limited.
So they basically sort the targets in the correct order and then watch evey one of them when it becomes visible
