Wow! Amazing pic.
The big black blob (sorry, i have no other word) looks like Australia.
But why is there 3 squares missing on the top left? Some device you had to had so that your telescope could see further?

@CountZero wish it were mine, it's a Hubble image. The camera that took it had an odd setup of the 4 CCD chips that made it up giving the missing squares look.
