Largest 61-meter Telescope in the World - Scaffolding

January 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.

Sun Baked Observatory Shroud

Sun Baked Observatory Shroud for Successful Solar Imaging

Imaging the sun with a mobile phone camera function is possible, however the touchscreen can be very problematic. For example, iPhone has a highly reflective screen that reflects so many images in bright sunlight, the photo image on the screen becomes completely lost in the reflective glare.

One simple solution is to make a hood of black material, with plenty of air circulation ventilation. An anti-reflective screen cover may also help. As a third option, go to settings and change the phone screen brightness to maximum.

Artistic Creative Scientific Astro Processing

SMALL TELESCOPES GO WILD

Artistic Creative Scientific Astro Processing
In analyzing Moon observations with small telescopes, Otis introduces an artistic creative scientific astro processing technique to bring out highly detailed features on the lunar surface for extended analysis.

Obtain the drawing or image through the small telescope and begin masticating the image. Apply basic enhancements for bright, dark, grain removal, color enhancement, and smoothing as needed. Transform the image to identify specific like-features  using transformations. If like-features are to be identified, assign color. If they aggregate within Maria, turn the Maria dark.

NTO Nexstar Telescope Observatory
NTO is in operation. The refinement of the telescope platform is in progress. All parts and components for the platform are ready and waiting for assembly except the empty water bottles. Currently we have 15 bottles on hand. An order was placed for more water/bottles. The rate of collection is about 1 empty bottle per day. Some experimenting will determine the exact number needed. The bottle bases with the ability to withstand 1000 PSI each need to be placed in proper positioning on the back of the platform to conform with the steel rail.

Enhancements

TRANSDIGILOG - Transitional Digital & Analog

AMPING - Amplification of Telescope Diameter

TRANSAS - Transitioning Art and Science

NTO is fully operational with image processing and enhancements to include the new invented TransDigiLog. Combining a special transition of digital with analog, coined TransDigiLog, the process takes the best of both worlds - modern digital imaging and the foundations of spectroscopic emulsion based film. In this case, the spectroscopic film is transitioned to digital color, which never existed or was not popular during the original historical era of common astronomical spectroscopic usage in the early 1970s.  Also included with the newly added repertoire of power techniques for the Celestron Nexstar 6SE, invented by the author, is Amping. Amping takes a given telescope diameter and qualitatively gives it the appearance of an aperture 10 or 100 times larger. The third technique uses a combination of transitioning art and science, TransAS, to bring out highly specific features and renditions. The science side is highly quantitative while the artistic side is very qualitative in representations.

First Image Processing Result!

The first webpage with the first image processed and enhanced result, from the Celestron Nexstar 6SE telescope, was posted yesterday Friday April 22 2022. The invented technique by the author takes both digital and analog to create a new advanced and enhanced representation of the COSMOS that vastly outstrips the original in many technical aspects of imaging. This employs more than one method techniques application and of image processing. Additional processing is designed to remove light pollution, air pollution and upper atmospheric haze. The image is taken with a Celestron Nexstar 6SE telescope in the famous nebulosity area of the constellation Orion where stars are born and vasts wisps of bright red hydrogen atoms form clouds of interstellar gas filling the vastness of this region of space and time.

AMPING UP THE NEW ASTRO IMAGING LABORATORY
Today is a good day for revamping the entire astro imaging laboratory, taking advantage of a rare good health day and some remarkable weather inside one of the 20M slots.

We are deploying three telescopes simultaneously for departmentalized work. Mountains 25 miles away are crystal clear and it's now possible to collimate our new lasers by beaming directly into the mountain.

When MB Mountain Beaming is complete, the Moon is next. Apollo astronauts left a moon reflector plate on the moon for laser experiments, to our benefit. Current work is on a new sequential tunneling penetratory imaging project.

In regard to multi-purposing, work progresses on  ground penetrating electrodynamic imaging for moons and planets as the precursor to our colonization and the search for underground resources or the penetration of lunar and planetary atmospheres.

Light Pollution City

 

Light Pollution City
This city has a rating beyond a Bortle number with all its light pollution and air pollution sky haze

The author has invented the Penetrator, an invention to cut through sky dynamics such as light pollution, haze, fog, smog, air pollution, light overcast, a sheen of atmospheric water vapor, and thin clouds.
