M42 PGT Paradigmic Genius Telescope

BIG BRAIN SUPERCOMPUTER
PGT PARADIGMIC GENIUS TELESCOPE VIEWS M42

MONDAY OCTOBER 15TH 2012 - STUNNING VIEWS! were obtained using the Big Brain's PGT Super Telescope. Observations were completed on Monday, driven with a new portal window designed to show a wider view FOV (thanks to the experimental FR) with more visible detail and less cluttering of telescope controls.




M42 is the birthplace of stars and shows a wealth of detail in expanding hydrogen dust and filamentary detail. Glowing nebulosity is lit up by nearby and embedded stars. The PGT is an experimental telescope that's performing beyond all expectations.

The successful new portal version is functional though still under construction - it appears it will be chosen for primary use. This is the second image captured with the PGT. The previous observation did focusing on a Black Hole at the center of galaxy with a massive Event Horizon and a Relativistic Space Time Jet.


EXPANSION
One possible future expansion of the PGT may include the GMM's (Genius Molecular Microscope) Stage Cascader to zoom in to highly detailed portions of a wide FOV Cosmic View. This will ride atop the ocularic section for amplification and permit highly detailed magnified enlargement of selected areas much like results obtained from refinement stages within the GMM.

THE EXPERIMENT
It will be an exciting experiment to attach the Molecular Cascader atop the PGT Telescope and view the results. If permanently used, it could usher in a new age of telescope. One proposal is Molecular PGT or MPGT for Molecular Paradigmic Genius Telescope. This may be shortened to MGT Molecular Genius Telescope.

Venus Meets 101

SPECTACULAR VIEWS OF VENUS AT TAIPEI 101
THE CONTINUING  SAGA OF THE VENUS JUPITER ALDEBARAN CONJUNCTION AT 101

Photo 1 - Panorama


Photo 2 - Wide View

Photo 3 - Zoom
Photo 1 The panoramic view in photo 1 was shot in the early morning of July 27th, 2012 at 3:22:06 am, with a Canon Powershot S95 at 1 second exposure (2 EV) with a 28mm f/2 lens and ISO 1,600 shows a rich field of celestial sky objects - from top: the Pleiades star cluster, the planet Jupiter, the Hyades star cluster, Aldebaran in the constellation Taurus the Bull, Capella in the constellation Auriga. Note the position of very bright Venus to the immediate right of Taipei 101. Click on the photo to see the full panorama. 

Photo 2 The next photo shows a wide view shot in portrait format obtained earlier at 3:20:12 am. These first two images were at 1080 x 1920 1.2MB and screen shot for reduction.


Photo 3 The zoom is highly detailed at f/4... and perhaps the most dramatic with Jupiter, Aldebaran, and Venus poised immediately next to Taipei 101 (at the right side aboub 3/4th of the way towards the top).

Jupiter Venus Conjunction Widens

JUPITER VENUS CONJUNCTION WIDENS

Along with more stars and the return of another UFO!

All observations made at Humanoido Lab Number 50.

Wednesday July 25th 2012 3:53:18 am

Clear skies returned this morning to reveal the stunning Jupiter Venus Aldebaran conjunction above the Taipei 101 skyscraper.

The event was double spectacular as another UFO buzzed the surrounding sky for a short time. This time, the UFO made a wide sweeping pass and did not appear to land behind the Skyscraper 101 as some UFOs did in the past. It's believed some type of landing strip is located there, although it was confirmed that the conventional airport is located in another direction.
 
The earlier time at 3:53:18 revealed a darker sky and more stars, thus showing constellations Taurus the Bull and Auriga with the bright star Capella (to the left) more clearly. The small cluster of stars located about three fourths of the way toward the top is the Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters. In the photo with trailed star images, clearly the elongation of the UFO follows the path of a different angle.


The favorite imaging settings for this type of view are Program, ISO 1,600, 2 EV, f/2, no zoom, 1-second exposure, 1064 x 1600 727K image format with AWB in JPEG setting. A 28mm lens was used for this hand held shot. The first photo does not show the UFO.

The second image shows the UFO located directly above the 101 Tower. It appears elongated or saucer shaped on its North-bound trek. Numerous images were obtained showing the object moving across the sky.


 
Photos have no guiding from the hand-held camera. To capture these images, the author must hang out of the skyscraper several hundred feet above the open ground to avoid the building obstruction to the south. The entire process is a bit risky but result in very good images. Pieces of the this obstruction are visible in some photos at the right side.

The third photograph shows the unidentified object changing position again, moving from right to left. This shows the elongation of the object most clearly as the stars are not trailed. Photos were pre-processed with Apple iPhoto using enhancements: Exposure, Definition, Sharpness, and De-noise. The fourth photo shows another UFO change in position towards the North.

The final photo shows an enlargement of the UFO with saucer shape and a plume appearance directly to the top. The visual view of the craft exhibited some noted red color lights at times, not seen here in this photo.
