Can't even observe in most of the radio spectrum. FAST is an X and Gamma ray observatory, and DEFINITELY not calibrated for deep space.

Longer story: in Sept. a storm blew through and a part of the dish was destroyed when a cable snapped. Last month another cable came loose.>

>They were monitoring another cable that was fraying badly. The decision to cut the wires was just made last week. Looks like load stress>>

>> did the work for them. The demolition was supposed to be set for January.
