The '''Cambridge Low-Frequency Synthesis Telescope''' (CLFST) is an east-west [[aperture synthesis]] [[radio telescope]] currently operating at 151 [[Megahertz|MHz]]. It consists of 60 tracking [[yagi antenna|yagis]] on a 4.6 km baseline, giving 776 simultaneous baselines. These provide a resolution of 70×70 cosec(declination) arcsec<sup>2</sup>, with a sensitivity of about 30 to 50 mJy/beam, and a [[field of view]] of about 9°×9°. The telescope is situated at the [[Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory]]. |

The Cambridge Low-Frequency Synthesis Telescope (CLFST) is an east-west aperture synthesis radio telescope currently operating at 151 MHz. It consists of 60 tracking yagis on a 4.6 km baseline, giving 776 simultaneous baselines. These provide a resolution of 70×70 cosec(declination) arcsec2, with a sensitivity of about 30 to 50 mJy/beam, and a field of view of about 9°×9°. The telescope is situated at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory.
The CLFST has made three astronomical catalogues of the Northern Hemisphere:
52°10′13″N 0°02′33″E / 52.1704°N 0.0426°E / 52.1704; 0.0426
