Has anyone here ever observed the 21cm absorption lines in regions like
Cass A and Tau A?

Marcus,

This summer I used the Skynet 20meter scope to get some data on Cas A. It's attached. The .FITs file is the raw data, the *.png is the graphical representation. The .txt file is the raw data in a text format extracted by some Python code. I requested and we were charged for a 1 second observation, but the system returned 20 seconds of data. Go figure.

Thanks, Jack!

I was more thinking of something a bit more modest in terms of aperture
:) :)
