From 1997 to 2019, the Department of Radio Astronomy was a part of what was known in publications as the 371:. 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. 387:(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 683: 435: 542: 668: 579: 663: 263: 395:
