I wish I did... but was taken by an astronomer working in my observatory. Since the image was taken from a mosaic camera composed by 8 CCDs of 2Kx4K pixels, for a total of 8Kx8K pixels, the original had the gaps between CCDs. To remove them, the same exposure was taken several times with slight shifts of the telescope position and then the different images where composed to obtain the parts lost on the gaps.
