Yeh... Kinda looks crap - maybe it's not asthetically pleasing (much prefer Chris's image) but perhaps technically it's correct (I can see a hint of diffraction spikes :-) ) for the colours etc....

Anyway at least give me hope that one day I may have a picture on APOD :-)

Cheers,  John

Please, when posting APOD links etc., use a link which isn't going to show a different image tomorrow...

Blimey, there's some awful lens flare in that image!
