Astronomy Picture of the Day!

Today's image comes to us from an amateur astronomer in Europe.  It is a little blurry because those hairy Europeans use the metric system and they wind up with the same calibration problems that NASA does.  I've taught several seminars at the Dutch observatory where this was taken and each time I fix their 'scopes only to find their pictures looking like this a week later.  I swear to god, the next time I go over there I am going to snap every one of their metric rulers and replace them all with proper standard unit ones.  Not like it will matter anyways.  Eurpoeans suck at astronomy.  Leave the science to us and stick to what you do best.  Tiny cars and inbreeding.
