Antwerp (Belgium) solution to light polution

Hi all,

don't want you to miss this one, not really a CCD image but apparently a mighty clever
solution to light polution as implemented in the large city of Antwerp, Belgium :

Seems like for the town council, the solution to see the stars is to install hundreds of LED's over a main square so people can see a "scientifically" correct night sky with "all constellations". Christmas in summer.

Ain't that a clever way to see the stars smile

Now, if they would just add some nice deep sky pics backlighted, we can forget about CCD's and make
the best images with a Canon Ixus smile
