M87 with a black hole in the center

Few days ago was published the first photo of a black hole in the center of M87 galaxy. Can you imagine a photo of the same black hole taken with a less powerful telescope?

Take a look at this one. I have taken this photo with a robotic telescope in Amado, Arizona.
