Largest 61-meter Telescope in the World - ScaffoldingJanuary 24, 2023
This marks the celebratory opening up and dedication of a series of small blogs that will track the development and construction of a new high technology telescope - the largest in the world - potentially just over 61 meters in diameter.
In this blog I'm sharing the latest schematic depiction of the scaffolding of the largest telescope in the world. This phase is currently working out potential details for the truss work, cabling, pulleys, shields, grips, and locking in a relative Focal Ratio...
Note: This is a lot of work and I plan a blog on the design or construction overview of all the largest telescopes located at Singularity Observatory. This is a real treat to see all the largest telescopes at one place at one time - never shown before.
The project design is going with the open yet shrouded double ended Serrurier design which will make the scope as lightweight as possible to the shocking and astonishing point of being portable and by special means potentially manageable based on a wheeled fulcrum which will introduce some degree of moveability and/or portability.

I know, I can't believe this is happening and for me, after heart surgery and coming back to life by the miracle of modern medicine, this is a once in a life opportunity going for the creation of something truly wonderful and unique - the world's largest telescope (single primary mirror) which will be entirely capable of the grandest of discoveries and space science. It's postulated that this telescope could change the world.
