The software scans the waterhole while locked onto a specific DEC and Ra. Right now its tracking Delta Cancri (a star in Cancer).
It shifts its receiver down in frequency in time with the Doppler shift caused by the earths rotation and looks for signals that result in straight lines in the waterfall.
You can actually download the Spectrum Analyzer and run it on the streaming audio from my system to see it work on your own computer.

JB -- thats pretty cool! Of course you'd have to hit the jackpot going star to star, but with such equipment, I guess thats all that is possible.
Maybe when we get some solid targets from the Kepler mission you could target those stars with possibly earthlike planets !
Very cool.
