From 1997 to 2019, the Department of Radio Astronomy was a part of what was known in publications as the 382:. Also, photometry using 60 cm Cassegrain telescope is made and radio measurements of the Sun at 127 MHz frequency have been recorded on a daily basis since 1958 using a 23 m interferometer. 398:(Very Long Baseline Interferometry). The 32 m telescope is a 620-ton construction designed by Zygmunt Bujakowski based on initial geometric parameters created by Dr Jerzy Usowicz. It is used in 679: 590: 674: 553: 462: 314: 67: 684: 360: 242: 274: 112: 406:
