Great Orion Nebula Rises

The Christmas special is the Great Orion Nebula, photo of the holiday night, in a remarkable black & white astro imaging capture. The images show much more detail as the size of the telescope increases. This is a non-Amped image with M-processing by M. Otis.

Great Orion Nebula Rises

Winter is upon us as the Great Orion Nebula rises around sunset and is favorably placed in the East for this astroimaging result. M42 looks good in practically any telescope but the large ones show color and breathtaking views.

Going into color mode yields the result below. Which is preferred?

The final processed photo below accentuates the inner filaments of star bearing nebula deep within the bowels of this simple digital transformation.

World Class 2,400-Inch Telescope & Observatory


Above: Otis primary telescope mirrors just keep getting bigger and bigger with no end in sight.

Telescope Builder Power - Construction by Mike Otis
World Class 2,400-Inch Telescope & Observatory

A new big telescope and observatory are now in the planning stages for construction. Before Amping, the optical base of 24" uses a glass primary and secondary set at the Newtonian focus and will have a resultant deep ended RFT focal length in the F3 range.

Such telescopes are very expensive and challenging to create due to the deepened parabola... with a 2-inch focuser and 2" FL lens, the telescope can produce 3.3x24/2 = 39.6 magnification at very wide field, ideal for deep sky. At the other range, projection with a sole 6mm ocular (.23622" focus) FL will yield 335x. Given the high concentration of light from the Orion Nebula, or massive Jupiter, just short of burning holes in the film's emulsion, a sensitive digital camera detector should saturate in a fractional second of exposed time.

When completed, Otis Amping software will transform this telescope into apertures of 240" diameter and 2,400" diameter. This will become the largest (Amped) ground based telescope in the world when located near Singularity Observatory. The latter power modus will exceed the aperture of the James Webb Space Telescope by 2,144 inches and the Hubble Space Telescope by 2,306 inches. Currently the largest Amped telescope in the world is located at Singularity Observatory and is 1,400-inches diameter. The new telescope will be 1,000-inches larger in diameter. Important new research and discoveries are inevitable - made possible by these world class telescopes.

It has been shown that a large telescope, when focused on deep sky, can penetrate far deeper than smaller scopes in a light polluted location and then extract a huge amount of detail through proper processing. The observatory, if all checks out, will be several thousand feet higher in elevation than the current complex and possibly situated on top of the roof expanse depending on the deal struck - atop one of the tallest skyscrapers in the region! Stay tuned for more details and developments about this ongoing project.

New Terrene Experimental Gold Hexagonal Telescope

The new Terrene Experimental Gold Hexagonal Telescope GHT is comprised of many gold plate hexagonal mirrors that make up the entirety of the multi-mirrored primary, for mind bending transparency into a far deeper and wider range of spectacular wavelength celestial images, inclusive of optical and deep infrared, the latter for far greater mystical appearing ongoing penetration into the cosmic web.

Above: Nineteen hexagonal mirror sections are compound arranged to make one massive astronomical single performing mirror. Mirror section tiles are ultra thin, designed to flex a given amount to achieve a warped parabolic shape. The center is the focal point of application where tension is applied to warp the membrane into a technical figure. More or less tiles and their size determine the actual mirror diameter.

Inventor and astronomer Mike Otis has created the new terrene experimental Gold Hexagonal Telescope which is currently being unveiled through private industry United Space Technology with resources from Otis Astroimaging, SPACE1, and Big Brain Technologies, as one of the most significant scientific telescope breakthroughs of all time at the new observatory.

International parts to make the telescope come from all over the world. Privately financed by Otis, the telescope is part of a powerful aggregate series of telescopes designed to make new discoveries and penetrate the celestial cosmic abyss unlike any other astronomical instrument. The telescope uses a version of Enchanted Code, developed by Otis.

The GHT is heavily purposed to measure and study vast intermittent spooky dynamic flux fields in particular sky regions of burning interest in order to better develop new ways to blast through the random cosmic shield, improve electrodynamic space travel, and enter the cosmological abyss with greater clarity. Another potential use is the search for locations in the vast galactic celestial sphere containing ancient civilizations. Add on instruments include a wide variety of optical equipment including a potential optical spectroscope for spectroscopic analysis of the chemical composition of various celestial phenomena.

Moon Mars Occultation

Mars is about to move behind the Moon during a recent occultation shot through obscuring atmospheric ionic conditions, and resurrected via multiple core gradient level image processing. Note the various unexpected albedo levels from the planet and the aura produced by the Moon disk perimeter, likely due to limb variations in brightness and scattering in the atmosphere.

Moon Mars Occultation

Heavily processed and amplified Moon Mars occultation image shot through heavy random upper ionic atmospheric pollution. Shooting through a blanket layer of total sky obscuration is an art within itself. Subtracting off light pollution and balancing a view through ionic obscura requires numerous software packages programmed to resurrect the latent digital image. Background sky is a contentious variable dealt with by using multiple iterations of software processing.

Winter Rainy Season

Winter Rainy Season

The winter rain season is in full swing, with temperatures falling by approximately ten degrees every two weeks. Skies are overcast and therefore work will continue indoors on previous collected data and special projects.

Telescopes are in hibernation and various degrees of work on the new observatory are temporarily suspended until conditions improve. Several heaters are used 24/7 along with a dehumidifier to take the edge off the cold dampness. By Sunday, temps will fall another ten degrees and the next level, if reached, will produce snow although that would be a rare and relatively short term experience. Indoors, the observatory and all rooms are composed of no insulation, with concrete walls and glass ceramic floors, all constructed in the local region style. The indoor environment easily reaches and matches the outdoor temperature conditions if left unchecked.
