Ugh.  That should be illegal.  There's no way they could improve on that 
composition.  Speaking of that, there is a good article on artistic composition 
as it applied to astroimaging by Tony Hallas in the April issue of S&T.  Joe's 
images would have made for better illustrations for that article.
