Herschel's Moon Lens
An artistic 1835 engraving-style vision of Sir John Herschel's massive brass telescope featuring intricate gears and a copper patina, focused on a full moon glowing amber. Seen through the telescope's lens is a clear lunar surface with bat-winged humanoids in Victorian waistcoats assembling ruby-encrusted pyramids. Warm oil lamp light casts a glow on Herschel's handwritten notes, confirming a vertebrate lunar civilization. The cluttered wooden desk is filled with star charts and celestial maps, depicted with hyper-realistic textures and moody Rembrandt-like lighting.
