Era the Beginning (1955-1990)
Location: USA
I had planned for some time to make a list of telescopes which I had under my ownership, either DIY, purchased, or as gifts. The plan was to plot the telescope diameters to show increasing size up to a point and then decreasing size. However, the list is not that simple. Beginning in 1955, my first 30mm Tasco telescope was a Birthday gift and it sparked a series of astronomical studies and observations. After that, the telescopes ramped upwards in time until reaching DIY 40-inch and 50-inch diameter telescopes.

When the internet became fast enough, I designed, programmed and put into operation a remote cyber space telescope that could be controlled from anywhere in the world. It could image all Messier objects and selected objects like B33.

Era Power Telescopes (Feb. 2012 - May 2014)
Subtitle: Extremely Powerful Telescopes, Power telescope Initiative
Location: Taiwan
During the PTI Power Telescope Initiative, sixteen powerful new telescopes were invented, constructed and put into operation above the Earth. How did these telescopes originate? Conventional telescope technology had reached an impasse. I was determined to make the world's largest and most powerful telescope. However, obstacles existed. It would take 10 years to build, it needed a million dollars in cost, there was no place to keep a massively large telescope, and rainy humid overcast weather with poor seeing conditions were unsuitable for a telescope. I sat down one evening and invented the Power Telescope. The PT was initially about a thousand inches in diameter, immediately became the world’s largest telescope, was built and assembled in a single evening, was parked in outer space with plenty of room available, was located high above the degrading effects of Earth’s atmospheric for perfect seeing conditions in the vacuum of space, and a trillions dollars of parts in space to make telescopes were free for the taking. After the first telescope, more inventions of space and time allowed for the creation of more Power Telescopes with compatible pipe mounted extreme machines fit to govern their abilities. These power telescopes mix art, science and extreme technology, with space adjuncts residing in space, and a ground supercomputer at the Earth Control Center. Each telescope has a special noted “super power” that specializes in new attributes conducive to exploring the Universe in new visionary ways and making new discoveries leading to a greater understanding of the Cosmos. The telescopes are designed to follow the Prime Directive, a space exploration guideline set by the Big Brain Initiative, an intelligent machine life form.

Estimating an extremely powerful synthetic aperture of 1,500-miles in diameter, linked in space to Earth, this new world telescope will puncture holes through gravity, space, time, and dimension, with phase cutting through nebula and interstellar dust & matter like a hot butter knife, reaching the farthest places throughout the Universe. Along with new technology, this telescope will be the next design building upon the 150-mile synthetic aperture telescope and previous technology.
Going Beyond ET - How It Was Accomplished
The New Multi Selective Adjunctive design was the next step in making massive gains in resolution and increasing the aperture by a quantum leap. The ULT uses a singular Adjunctive and now with use of multiple Adjunctives ushers in the age of the ET Extreme Telescope and beyond. What's beyond ET?
These new large telescope are made possible with the use of the new Accumulator invention. The new Accumulator invention for the ULT Telescope is simply revolutionary because it enables a quantum jump increase in apparent resolution and telescope size. It accomplishes this by combining the data from two or more, or many Adjuncts. The Accumulator can also sum the accumulated data from a single Adjunct, making the entire Telescope perform with significant enhancement. No longer is the Universe Penetrator (UP) the only device that can increase and amplify telescope resolution and apparent size (by 10X). The Accumulator has brought about enhancements of 100X and 1000X on top of the UP's capabilities. Along with the UP, this converts to 1000X and 10,000X. This is not an empty magnification reference at all, but rather references resolutions that determine functional aperture of the Telescope. It puts the telescope aperture into the range (from 24 meters) of 1.5, 15, and 150 miles wide. The accumulator also increase the clarity and field penetration yielding new powerful data about places in space and time.
