Acuter Mak 60 Planet Observations

Jupiter and Galilean Moons near Jupiter as observed by Mike Otis early morning May 12, 2022 with the new Acuter Maksy 60 telescope using a 20mm EP and table top mount. The drawing graphic depicts two of the three moons visible and the image scale is vastly increased from the raw visual. The moon closest to Jupiter is Io and farther to the left is Ganymede. Not shown at this image scale, located farther to the left is Europa.

Acuter Mak 60 Planet Observations
On the early morning of May 12, 2022, around 4 to 4:20 am, the Acuter Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope was used for the first time to observe all the main planets Venus, Jupiter, Mars and Saturn. A number of things were learned about the telescope.


Left: the smaller image scale is more like the visual at the telescope and depicts Io, Ganymede and Europa from right to left. The observations were made through window glass at around 4:20 am on the morning of May 12th. At a 30-degree altitude, Jupiter had the least effect from the atmosphere compared to Venus.

* The 20mm eyepiece with 37.5x is too low a magnification to show significant detail on planets. It is, however, good for showing all the Galilean moons of Jupiter. For detail on the globe, the telescope should be ramped up to around 120x but then tracking the planet will become a great challenge.

Venus was spectacular in brightness and showed a "moon-like" phase. The low altitude was affecting the image. This drawing rendition by Mike Otis shows the phase of Venus through the new Acuter Maksy 60 telescope and a 20mm eyepiece. The scale is greatly exaggerated.

Left: this depiction of Venus and its phase, with the 60mm telescope, is closer to the actual visual observation regarding image size. At the lower "bubbling atmospheric" altitude and with the brightness of Venus, the phase was a challenge

* The small table top tripod is insufficient for astro imaging of planets and fine detailed motions. Therefore, the first observations included here will be various visual drawings and representations. In the future, the Maksutov will mount onto the Celestron Nexstar 6SE and have total digital control and tracking.

Left: Mars was a tiny dot very pronounced in orange color and too small to see any detail

* The bumps on the side of the telescope are not sufficient for finding objects during the night. Even with some illumination near the telescope, the bumps are difficult to see and line up. For study other than the Moon, a finderscope is needed. The Mak could also be mounted on another telescope and use its finding resources.

Saturn and its ring systems were too small to show any detail and the image scale from a 37.5x ocular was not enough. When Saturn is closer to the Earth, 120x should show more. The visual depiction here is only a guide.



As the rich and successful observing night with the new Acuter Maksy 60 telescope concluded, a beautiful golden sunrise appeared in the East with noctilucent appearing clouds, flanked by the tallest skyscraper in Taiwan located nearby - Taipei 101 (with 101 stories) towering at a height of 1,667-feet and scientific antenna dishes for various satellite and weather studies. The skyscraper is so tall, it often can be seen rising up into the clouds with the top section completely obscured and the bottom visible. Three such skyscrapers placed end to end would reach a full mile into the sky. The spectacular skyscraper sports a tower at the peak which is lit according to aircraft and airport rules and regulations. This is ideal for use as an artificial star and for calibrating finderscopes and checking telescope parametrics.

About 101
Its design incorporates a number of features that enable the structure to withstand the Pacific Ring of Fire's earthquakes and the region's tropical storms. The tower houses offices, restaurants, and indoor and outdoor observatories. The tower is adjoined by a multilevel shopping mall that has the world's largest ruyi symbol as an exterior feature.

Going to the Top Observatory
After the construction of Taipei 101, I was given permission to go up to the top of the skyscraper at the tallest point of the tower. The last part to get there is by taking the steps. The extra steep steps did not conform to what I expected to be USA building code dimensions and in my exuberance and excitement, I stumbled on a step and nearly fell all the way down. A couple security agents probably almost had heart attacks! I finally made it up to the top where it was extremely windy, cold and dangerous, feeling that a strong gust of wind could pick me up and send me sailing out across the sky! But the risk was well worth it - the view was spectacular! Some time later, all people were prohibited from going outside to the top so I had a very lucky and exciting experience.

Singularity Observatory - Moved to a New Location

Out-spiring other tall skyscrapers in the region, the new massive and incredibly large HSO Humanoido Singularity Observatory looms skyward thousands of feet. With seven levels of telescopes and built from solid panes of granite, marble and steel structures, the luxury building tower is a mix that houses specialty businesses, movie stars, and now a spectacular sky telescope observatory complex complete with the largest technology laboratories in the world - the original consolidated Humanoido United Laboratories.


HUMANOIDO SINGULARITY OBSERVATORY HSO Moved to a New Location

A new Celestron Nexstar 6SE telescope was purchased and dedicated to commemorate the new observatory complex. Humanoido’s Singularity Observatory (HSO), which employs dozens of telescopes, some in space and others are the largest land-based Amped telescopes in the world, has moved to a more convenient technology location with much larger observatory structures and spectacular laboratory tech space, about 15 miles away from the former installation site. 

ONE OF THE LARGEST AND TALLEST SKYSCRAPERS
This modern structure is composed of steel and granite and spires thousands of feet into the sky and is situated in a budding garden of some of the tallest skyscrapers in the world. Not just telescopes, the observatory complex has a complete kitchen, gym workout center, technical library, center for raising and studying sentient life forms, a connoisseur's center of fine imported wine, computer and A/V center, and luxurious living space along with some of the finest equipped Humanoido laboratories in the world.

The new structure, thousands of feet in the sky, includes a massive tall skyscraper with five observatory platform decks and two observatory rooms, four of which are currently being put into operations. HSO is very unique for utilizing another two observatories operated from indoors in two ways - extreme high technology hermetically sealed windowed observing rooms located indoors through window glass and observing indoors at thermal equilibrium through open windows (one observatory is flanked by 18 modern single pane high quality white glass windows). This brings the potential total of the HSO complex to seven observatories, four of which are currently being set up for full operations. The peak sky roof is at the highest location - a massive top peak roof platform on the highest point of the skyscraper, looking out upon the vast super skyway in all directions. Not far away is Taipei 101, the tallest skyscraper in the entire country!

— HSO, Humanoido Singularity Observatory is designed for multipurpose conservation (observing subtropical mountain vegetation and wildlife), sun daytime observations, the night time solar system to include the Moon and planets, cartography, weather studies, and various other astronomical observations and projects —
