A little Doppler effect visual I put together

There's a lot of visualizations of the Doppler effect out there, but in my opinion, none of them encompass the full picture for radio astronomy. This one includes what the telescope actually sees to help make the connection between the shifted peak on the spectrum and the relative velocity, instead of stopping the explanation at increased frequency.

Web interface demo

Quick progress update on the proof of concept for online observations. I've got the telescope movable, but I'm waiting on a new sdr to get here from china before I can work on the actual telescope part of the telescope. The rtl-sdr I was using before was the casualty of a rogue 12v wire taking out my pi 5 :( barely had it a year so now it's running on a 3B
