Here is my signal on 2.4M dish, WG input LNA, M0EYT depol + VE4MA scalar feed. FFT bin b/w 0.76Hz and the signal is just audible in the speaker.

Here is my very first acquisition of Tianwen-1 on open waveguide pointing about 220deg. As this point the signal frequency was unknown so it had to be found by brute force. Doppler shows spacecraft approaching me. Launched 23 July 2020, 0415 UTC and I detected it at 23 July 2020, 06:01:04 UTC not bad ;-)

Hayabusa-2 is on LGA but its close at 20M Km so quite easy to detect.

Juno spacecraft on orbit @ Jupiter, 768.5M Km away.

BepiColombo on X-Band on 14/10/20

Mars Odyssey from 14/10/20 on X-Band.

STEREO-A X-Band downlink from today.

Mars 2020 X-Band signal from today.

Waterfall shows AOS from low easterly horizon, hence the increasing signal. You can see thermal noise drop off as the green stuff leaves the dish beamwidth. The markers are the top 4 signals within the bandwidth.

Here is my FFT from this morning, lots of sidebands were initially visible!

My signal from Mars 2020 this morning, not too bad!

My signal from AOS last night;
