Here's my for y'all! At the base, one of the Auxiliary Telescopes at ESO's Paranal Observatory. Above it, the Magellanic Clouds, two small galaxies orbiting our own. The tree-topper is 47 Tucanae, a globular cluster containing millions of .

The light from this and other telescopes can be combined to get the same level of detail as that of a huge "virtual" telescope using interferometry: https://www.eso.org/public/teles-instr/technology/interferometry/

Thanks for sharing!

Slightly less ambitious (but from my own garden) here's my VSGT (Very Small Garden Telescope) with Jupiter as decoration and the moon as tree topper ;-)
