SETI@home is a scientific experiment that will harness the power of hundreds of thousands of Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data. There's a small but captivating possibility that your computer will detect the faint murmur of a civilization beyond Earth.

Manchester Astronomical Society

Please visit my local astronomical society. The website is maintained by myself and Graham Hodson.

This home page is dedicated to amateur astronomy. I have combined my love for astronomy and computing to produce and maintain a number of astronomy web sites. Most of these sites are for amateur astronomy and all are for societies and organizations based in Britain.

This domain mikeoates.org is also the name of a Minor Planet named after me 'mikeoates 68948' by it's discoverer Sebastian F. Hönig. See my comet page for more information.

I also maintain my companies web site electroplating.co.uk the home of Phoenix Electroplating Ltd.

I also make high quality Audio Recordings of Astronomy lectures and also live recordings of music such as Classical, Brass, Jazz and Choral. I do these under the name of 'Audio Recording Live'

Please see the Prestwich Music Club web page and come and listen to the wonderful performances.

All of the web sites are housed at Zen Internet.
