Suvi is a little sketchy about the details; mostly because she doesn't really understand how it worked (and says so).
You wouldn't have to actually move the telescope/relay, you would just have to "borrow" it by pointing it wherever you wanted and looking. If they were already looking, you would just have to either piggyback/tap onto what they were doing or, more likely, get ahold of their raw data afterwards and study it yourself.
The Geth worked with/held in reverence the ancient machines for a fair bit of time. Long enough to form a separate faction and then split it off... some amount of time pre-ME1. They could of been searching the universe for the rest of the ancient machines.
It depends what you mean by using Geth technology. A mass effect relay isn't Geth technology and the rest of the galaxy uses them quite often.
Oh yes you are right, they could of used it without moving it but still they went to the quarian home system and use this telescope and the geth didn't intervene? And that's a clever idea, the geth looking for the old machines....... Maybe that's what attackEd the jardaan. And by using geth tech sorry I was referring to the virtual interface to stop the geth, I didn't think that through.
Still though ; geth telescope! Pretty convenient they had one and the initiative "found" it.
And thanks for the suvi info, I'm trying to read into the dialogue of the characters to figure this out. Or at least the possibilities.
There's also either a journal or codex entry you get early in the game (by the beginning of the first mission) that talks a little about it.
