SETI=Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, the online experiment that uses home computers around the world to analyse data from radio telescopes looking for alien life. you can learn more at their website.
I was originally going to call this UHF (Ultra High Frequency, being the spectrum that some satellite's transmit on) but SETI is a much better fit for the challenge.

Brilliant concept. I don't know whether the sky was this monochromatic when you shot it, but It feels a little bit artificial to me. If you desaturated it, you might want to try it with a bit more color. There are some artifacts around the dish that bother me a bit. A bit of the ole dodge and burn to boost the contrast of the sky and this would be a 9 or a 10 for me.
