Özet

In this report we inform on adjustment of pointing and tracking system and calibration procedures of ERT5. Also we inform on the test of 1420 MHz HI receiver SpectraCyber ( SC ) from Radio Astronomy Supplies [1] which is installed on ERT5 and the results of some bright source observations with it. Errors of pointing of ERT5 before correction were more than 7°. After the first stage of correction these errors had been reduced to nearly 2° level. Testing of the Neutral hydrogen ( HI ) receiver SC shows that the system is functioning properly. We also discuss the first observations made in Turkey at the 1420 MHz line and continuum and other results of some observations of Galactic and extragalactic bright sources. © Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial- ShareAlike Licence.
