World Class Terrain 2,400-Inch Telescope & Observatory Construction Underway


Spectacular Telescope Amping, a telescope diameter amplification technique developed by Mike Otis over a ten year period, vastly enhances the primary objective mirrors of telescopes to create massive new scopes thousands of inches in diameter. Is it real, novel, a virtual spinoff, or something that goes beyond a technological divergence along the space time continuum, you decide.

Here, the M27 amped telescope view has stripped away the most wild imaginations of space and time penetration in an experimental catch. These runs often produce visuals never seen before through such large telescopes. Amateurs and professionals who sift through this visually treated data are often blown away according to their testimonials.

On the Orion Nebula, the imagery was so overexposed it appeared to "burn" holes into digital latent photographic image emulsive baselines. Mike Otis states, "this is an exciting era and it holds exactly the results desired and opens up the potential for exploration with massive diameter telescopes, for fun and taking a new look at space time - we've only just begun." A small original capture from which the amping is based upon, is seen to the upper left in the imagery, preserved and watermark embedded in amped results for memorable historical posterity.

Breaking News - January 2023
by Mike Otis of Telescope Builder Power & Otis Astro Imaging

Work began on the World Class Earth-based 2,400-inch telescope during the week of January 15, 2023. In a massive project instigated by Telescope Maker Mike Otis - founder of United Telescope Builder Power, the new telescope will contain and harbor all of Singularity Observatory technology developed over the past 21 years for increasing telescope size to massive proportions and that of future ongoing technology inventions to give astounding results.


There's a massive series of world class telescopes being developed over at Singularity Observatory in the South Pacific Ocean. Most are enhanced and exceed their quoted diameters. See chart below.

Technology Views & the Sky Roof
Not without its own share of exorbitant expense, and intended construction timelines, the new 2,400-inch telescope is going to contain its own sky roof, the largest new concept in telescope observatory with a design that permits global world wide in-situ views for any cardinal direction amidst the top realm of the tallest world skyscrapers available and deals in Otis-derived power processing systems to penetrate light pollution, atmospheric haze, air pollution, sky fog, and various clouds.

Computer and AGI Control
The potentials of a 5-tiered system of automatic telescope control are in the works. Thus far, a new fourth commanding computer has been acquiesced for the system and is being coded and configured by programmer Otis. The telescope will be strong on Apple Mac technology, including one iMac supercomputer, an upgraded Macbook Air with the new M2 chip, a secondary iMac equipped with the extreme limits of amping power and magnitude, Apple tablet converted to a full computer with a keyboard and all required resources, and last but not least, the system includes Big Brain Technologies' AGI Artificial General Intelligence machine person.

Location of the Largest Telescope in the World
The location, while initially kept under wraps, will have a new point of Singularity in the South Pacific Ocean where the finest sky conditions exist during seasonal variations. A literal abundance of ongoing space and sciences research departments will continue to conduct studies to penetrate haze, light and air pollution as needed to keep such massive Terran telescopes seasonally active and thus maximum time and power useful across the next generation of telescope evolution.

Enhanced Performance
Enhanced performances across the board - not only will the scope have the latest AMPING built it but it will also have additional upper high end performance enhanced optics for the highest content of light gather power. As far as we can tell, the glass primary objective will be oversized but how much over the 2,400-inch diameter baseline remains to be seen. The enhanced Secondary Diagonal optics will harbor a massive chunk of glass amped to approximately 500-inches across! Enhancements made optically often allow a telescope to perform in terms of light gathering power, like a much larger telescope according to users - a 6-inch like an 8-inch, or a 14-inch like an 16 inch, or a 2,400-inch that remains to be determined.

Background & History
Singularity Observatory Technologies is the brainchild of its owner and operator, Mike Otis of Telescope Builder Power, and includes an array of the world's most powerful terrain telescopes, including the 1,225-inch, the 1,325-inch, the 1,800 inch and now the new 2,400-inch. In the Mike Otis Interview, he talks about his astronomical comeback and "this will likely be the largest terrain-built and managed telescope in my entire astro career lifetime, and well.. you never know what that might lead to..."

Origins of the Singularity Observatory
The Singularity Observatory Suite of telescopes were developed by Mike Otis, the founder of Telescope Builder Power and Singularity Observatory. Otis is a direct descendent of Elisha Otis, the world renown inventor of the Safety Elevator and Otis United Technologies that changed the world. Mike Otis founded United Laboratories - a technological science conglomerate for pushing the boundaries of experimental space science, and is the writer for four blogging websites linked below.

Otis is founder, editor, and publisher of international OTM Observatory Techniques Magazine from 1992 through 1997, culminating with an online version. The issues are mainly an ink printed magazine beginning in black and white, leading to color, and introduced the concept Telescope Builder Power which included many new powerful ways to design, create and use telescopes. From time to time, Otis makes reprints available.

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.

The Curse of New Telescope = Clouds

The Curse of New Telescope = Clouds
For many years I've read about the curse of new telescopes = clouds. I never thought much about it in the early days when I slowly built my telescopes over time. But times change and now I buy telescopes. I began wondering why the sky can be clear for weeks and weeks or months and months, inspiring telescope fever, and just as soon as a new telescope is ordered and delivered, the sky turns to overcast and rain, for weeks, months, and sometimes even years!

I have data to back up my claims and can verify the curse is real. Six years ago I bought one of the largest telescopes sold, because our skies were clear and this inspired the great telescope fever within me, including aperture fever as well. I was planning a 24-inch but ordered a Celestron C14 first and upon arrival we were hit with a double monsoon rainy season, and for 2 years I waited for a stretch of clear skies.

Fast forward to now, and clear skies once again invoked great telescope fever and I made the mistake of ordering TWO TELESCOPES!!! I had not learned my previous lesson, but thinking the curse could be nothing more than a simple coincidence, I moved forward with the telescope orders. I also made an incorrect calculation - I surmised even if the night became cloudy, I could always use a sun telescope in the daytime. This proved to be wrong. Just as soon as the telescopes arrived the skies immediately turned cloudy, then to overcast and rain. At first, I stayed awake all night waiting for a brief 20-minute break in the clouds. Then, the weatherman said by some unnatural act of nature, the rainy monsoon period has reactivated and we can expect rain every day. He was not wrong (see photo above).

Left: this pic shows a rare opening in the clouds during early morning hours. However, this is not a clear sky with much upper atmospheric haze blocking the view.

I started thinking, do others have this same problem, and asked the question to google. To my surprise, hundreds, if not tens of thousands, have had the same problem. As evidence, below are quotes from the Cloudy Nights Forum.

SKOOKUM: New telescope = cloud. Why? WHY?!! My shiny new C8 XLT with its Williams Optics crayford sits on its mount in my living room. Can't understand why the clouds would roll in tonight...:confused: The curse is real. Grrr.

therocksal: Ive waited 6 weeks for first light.....I'm jealous of ONE night.

Patrick: I bought a CPC1100 at the end of December and have not been able to look through it yet. It's the nature of the hobby!

Left: this is the usual view with the sky completely overcast, misting with fog and obliterating half the view of the tall skyscraper 101.

pgrunwald: I bought a CPC1100 at the end of December and have not been able to look through it yet. It's the nature of the hobby!

Harold925: I've taken delivery of three new scopes since December 2008 and the cloud or rain invasion has happened every time.

skookum: After some detailed observation and analysis, I've generated a diagram which illustrates the complex meteorological relationship between clouds and new astronomy gear. (see below)

PatHolland: I never used to be superstitious until I purchased not one but 2 scopes in two months. The clouds just haven't given me much of a break in 4 months. Is there an exponential factor to the equation of the curse?

stevew: From my experience I have found that, the amount of cloud cover is directly related to the amount of money you have spent on your new optics.

Scott Rose: I think I have had 14 seconds of clear skies in the last 2-3 months. I tend to buy equipment in the winter months so I do not jinx the cloud gods during nice weather.

frebie: It is a well-known fact that manufacturers pack clouds in new telescope boxes to act as padding during shipment. When you open the boxes, the clouds unfortunately rush out and reform over your house. It usually takes several days or weeks for the beneficial effects of starlight to eliminate the clouds.

MrKrink: It has to be true...I got a new EdgeHD after a year of contemplation and have had only 1 chance to get it out! Temp hasn't been much above 40 here since and snowed almost every weekend.

Jenn1013: So, as many of you stated, a new scope brings many clouds. My scope is scheduled to arrive tomorrow and, of course, the bad weather is here too. Tomorrow's forecast is rain and freezing temps. It hasn't froze in Houston since 2011, but the very day my scope arrives here comes the freeze...I was certain I would be the exception to the "cloudy weather when you get a new scope" rule.

Midnight Dan: Tough break! But we did warn you!

Postasaurusrex: Yep, the curse strikes again.

Nolaphoto1: Need rain? Buy a telescope.

The other day I finally committed to scope and today, the UPS man delivered it. At first I used to think all of those posts about the new scope/cloudy night curse were just a welcoming tradition for us newbies. Well, today started off bright and sunny. Then around 3:00pm CDT, it started clouding up. Then some rain fell for about 30 minutes. Then I heard a dull rumble. Was it thunder? Nope. It was a UPS truck pulling up and in the delivery man's hand was a box with the words VIXEN across the side. The curse is real.

Matt2003: I told you guys, the new equipment curse IS FOR REAL! I just ordered a 2-inch Ocular & an OIII filter last saturday. Boom! TS Hermine comes out of nowhere and clobbers most of this state (Texas)! It IS A REAL CURSE. Be forewarned!

AJ: Happens every time! My first real telescope over 25 years ago, an Astroscan, arrived with fog and drizzle that blanketed NE Ohio (where I lived at the time) for almost a week. Grin and bear it, because there is no recourse.

shivaram: The day I got my Skywatcher, it rained the most for that year in my place...

JIMZ7: I believe we had less than 1" of rain in the past 8 weeks. Really dry for this area. Can't cut the grass because the roots are near the surface--thus when you walk on the grass it comes loose. My dog has fun pulling up large clumps of dry grass. Yes it's time to purchase a telescope.

For some reason mine only brings clouds but no rain. Don T.

I'm a firm believer of the "New Scope Curse". I've been trying to hook up with a local astronomy club since I got my scope 5 weeks ago. They've cancelled (7) meets due to bad weather. Tonight was the latest. Four straight weekends of something but clear skies. They said this has been the longest dry spell in a long time. I found out one of the members got a real nice scope two weeks ago and hasn't had it out yet! I got new EP's last week and haven't tried them either. Not only the "Weather Gods" are watching but can read your thoughts. That's why I suggested everyone in the club get their "foil hats" on. Kenny J.

(In)Sanity: The truth about the new telescope curse. Well as many of us know there is a curse associated with buying a new scope that will guarantee it will cloud up, snow, rain, sleet, hail, or all of the above on the day your scope arrives. Well my scope was suppose to show up today via FedEx and didn't. The funny part is the sky got horrible just the same, and it's been crystal clear every night before tonight. So I have to conclude that the weather gods are monitoring the shipping companies arrival dates.

NeoDinian: Don't forget... The AMOUNT you spend also depends on just how BAD the weather is...
An Eyepiece = 1 day. (Naglers = 2-3 days)
Small scopes ($300-600) = a week.
Larger scopes ($600-1000) = 2 weeks.
Bigger scope purchase (+$1000) = 3+ weeks.

Sarah88: We're still suffering pretty badly in UK. Santa must have delivered an awful lot of new astro gear at Christmas.

Steph: Ohhhh, man! You upgraded your replacement, Dave?! Thanks a lot. No wonder the forecast for next weekend is thunderstorms and rain AGAIN. And Jim over in Mansfield got a new TV102! Between the two of you, I may never get to see the stars at night again...

Dubboy: I think someone in Northern Michigan must have opened a new observatory with mucho $$ worth of equipment. We've had about 3 clear nights since November.

(In)Sanity: Well my 8" came in tonight around 6 pm. The weather is terrible and it's suppose to start raining tomorrow morning. Almost 5 months without a drop of rain and now it's supposed to pour buckets.

mistyridge: The curse is real....Two years ago I ordered a new scope when the weather had been clear for two months. It arrived three weeks later in the middle of a howling storm. We had two months of rain and fog after that. Now I am expecting delivery of a new scope in the next week. Guess what, More rain expected. Maybe I should take up amateur meteorology and buy a doppler radar.

Listen ter yers all. Yer a disgracefull pack o whinin jessies. Yers should all be sat out there in the ice an wind and rain an all wi yer duts on jus waitin up all night fer a tiny smidjin o sky thru the clouds like wot us, up to our ankles in mud does here in the lovely ole UK. Don't youse have umbrellas or cagoules or nowt? Yer just not dedicated, nay wonder yer has to buy all them fancy expensive telescopes when all yer needs is a couple of empty beer tins, some sellotape an yer dads shavin mirror. Shame on you all... Joe

redpanda1203: How Many People Have Experienced The New Telescope Curse. I am wondering what the percentage is for the amount of people that experience the new telescope(or binocular) curse. For me, I had the bad luck of experiencing it for my binos and telescope.

jgraham: Hmmm, if I recall right every new equipment purchase comes with two free weeks of cloudy weather.

Certochrom: This winter, I had to wait for weeks until I could test my newly bought eyepieces for a first time. Don't dare to imagine what would have happened if I had bought a whole new scope!

Thermodynamics: My Unistellar Equinox arrived Friday and the “new telescope curse” has hit with a vengeance! Here in the South we are in the midst of one of the biggest Winter storm in years.
