Above: The current HSO observatory enterprise is a conglomerate hub of over nineteen observatories, the brainchild of Otis, located in the Pacific Ocean about a hundred miles from active volcanic mountains and within the Eurasian tectonic plate earthquake zone.
Out-spiring other tall behemoth skyscrapers in the region, the new massive and incredibly large HSO Humanoido Singularity Observatory looms skyward thousands of feet towards the Heavens. With seven levels of telescopes, and built from solid panes of granite, marble and steel structures, the luxury building tower is a mix that may boast about specialty businesses, movie stars, and now a spectacular sky telescope observatory complex complete with the largest and most vast technology laboratory complex in the world - the original consolidated Humanoido United Laboratories. Covering more than 57 main advanced science and technology fields, the lab has extreme capability and resources for inventor Otis who has his own rocket program, launches astronauts into space, and creates supercomputers and living AI artificial intelligent life.

The location is unique with all forms of subtropical weather including some of the most desired astronomical seasonal seeing conditions in the world due to the stable air location in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The observatory consortium is situated thousands of feet in the air via one of the tallest new structurally tectonic and earthquake stabilized steel and granite skyscrapers - with a battery of some of the world’s most powerful telescopes. When these telescopes are amped, they become some of the largest Earth-based astronomical instruments in the world, having amplified apertures of 20”, 200", 30”, 300", 45”, 450", 60”, 600", 92.5", 925”, 140", and 1,400-inches.
HSO also owns and operates Adjunctive telescope observatories in space through the concatenation of old discarded NASA recycled equipment worth over a trillion dollars. Adjunctives are driven by an Earth-based supercomputer while the current 2022 state-of-the-art Celestron Nexstar 6SE is operated with a built in positioning GOTO computer that has a database of 40,000 astronomical objects.
Left Above: The first observatory created at about age 3 employed a 30mm Tasco refracting telescope. The heavily used first telescope was ideal for drawing moonscapes, observing planets like Venus, Jupiter and Saturn, following and detecting Galilean moons, and investigating astronomical color phenomenon such as achromatic and chromatic lens aberration. In the 1950s, microcomputers, digital cameras, internet and GOTO telescopes were not yet invented.

"This is a lifetime list of my observatories since the first one established at about age 3 and equipped with a 30mm Tasco refractor, on up to the present day at about age 70 equipped with many extremely powerful telescopes." There are over 50 observatories built and operated during this 67 year historical time interval. The list is being updated to include power telescope observatories, telescope observatories in space, and all additional telescope observatories invented and operated by the author.
Left: Taking about three months of work, the three meter dome was designed and built by Otis for his DIY rooftop observatory.
Weighing tons, it was hoisted by a very large construction crane. The telescope mount weighed 80,000 pounds and the Newtonian 12.25-inch reflector telescope was hand built, with glass ground and polished by Otis. A fiberglass telescope tube was made by studying boat technology and using polyester resin and fiberglass to cover a Sonotube which served as a form. The telescope was positioned by one of the world's first computerized automated sky object locators using mathematical precise rotational encoders and sensors.
Otis invented his own microcomputer based on the RCACDP1802MPA chip, before Apple had their computer, and he also built a Thermodynamic Equalizer, talking/listening celestial computer, invented a new language (OPTICS) that communicated in light waves, and created observatory mobile AI award winning robot droids as helpers. He was also awarded with the discovery of a new star in the M27 region of space which helped position the Hubble Space Telescope in the million object database.
Otis built his own super-cooled camera and invented virtual cooling and a system of digital electronic spectroscopic filters that operated with software code and a programmed microcomputer. The observatory was operated by three computers. The dome was moved with two powerful motors in the gear ratio of 144:1 using DIY designed and built electronics - variable frequency oscillators and hand controllers to help with guiding and tracking sky objects in sidereal and lunar/planetary modes.
The observatory was published in several astronomical journals and magazines and appeared in various newspapers. The observatory was one of the first to have digital image processing using the VIP - Video Image Processor, and it was the first known observatory with a voice, both invented by Otis. The voice was microcomputer programmed around one of the world's first and most successful speech chips manufactured by the VOTRAX company.
At the same time the observatory was in full operation, Otis built the world's largest amateur sized telescopes with apertures of 40 and 50-inches in diameter. The 40-inch had a backyard building that robotically transformed into the telescope's mounting for outdoor performance. After use, it transformed back into a backyard building. The telescope, and the other largest telescopes, achieved a precision optical surface by the invention of dozens of robotic and computer controlled servo motors that adjusted the optical surface in real time.
The modern observatories also control the telescopes with other computers for various control features, predictions with past and future recreations of the night sky, to regulate CMOS and CCD astronomical imaging cameras, computer image process, and mega store astronomical data into modern digital solid state archives. There were many world changing projects - the results of one project mixed science and religion, confirming the Star of Bethlehem in the night sky signaling the birth of baby Jesus, as described in the Christian Bible.
