Processing Techniques Invented for Small Telescopes

Above: The lunar surface is processed using digital analog techniques to bring out the discovery and mapping locations of highly specific lunar formations. New invented techniques can increase the performance of small telescopes making their data yield larger than normal. The detection of hot lava flows or the scope and locations of large and small Maria are now within the range of significant studies, for example. Color can be helpful in identifying a commonality of certain features. On the other hand, many points of interest can be extracted from Mare Crisium using identification colors and techniques.

Processing Techniques Invented for Small Telescopes
Mike Otis has invented and perfected a number of techniques to increase the performance and processing yield of small telescopes

AMPING - Amplification of telescope diameter, telescope apertures are electronically increased by factors of ten and one hundred

DIGITAL FLASHING - Digital images are treated like the retro film technique that applied a flash of light to the film to increase the density for the detection of faint and dim celestial objects.

DIGITAL FILTERS - Filters are made with numbers that dial in highly specific spectroscopic ranges using photo computer image processing

SPECTROSCOPIC DIGITAL FILM - make your own "digital" spectral film by selecting the desired spectral characteristics using modern day filters and/or digital computer image processing.

MAGIC GLASS - technique allows the shooting of telescope images through window glass, subtracts window glass from the image, and the subtraction of aberrations, electronically removed.

PENETRATOR

A city setting has a lot of pollution that did not exist years ago. Strip away some layers of water vapor from thin clouds, light pollution, haze, fog, smog, and air pollution using these techniques.

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.

Astroimage Processsing with the Nexstar 6SE

 

Advanced AstroImage Processsing with the Nexstar 6SE by Mike Otis at the New NTO Nexstar Telescope Observatory

One 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 of image processing. The image shown above is taken with a Celestron Nexstar 6SE telescope in the nebulosity area of the constellation Orion where stars are born and vasts wisps of red hydrogen fill the vastness of space and time.

Techniques used are amping, a method to amplify the overall diameter of the telescope by a factor 10x and 100x, and the technique that takes the digital and combines it with the analog reminiscent of old school spectroscopic film only with the added enhancement of color. This first acquired image was shot in the throes of light pollution, upper atmospheric haze, and air pollution. These elements are subtracted out from the image to restore the clarity of the Universe with stunning success. This special occasion marks first light for the depths of deep sky Universe with the Celestron Nexstar 6SE telescope. The image is toying with the first result of additional amping to convert 6-inch diameter into 60-inch diameter, and some enhancements took it all the way up to 600-inch diameter for mind boggling incredible results.
