Top panel: the majestic Orion Nebula (M42) captured by dedicated astrophotographers with their fancy equipment and hours of image stacking. Bottom panel: your own photo that looks like a radioactive potato smudge after spending 3 hours freezing in your backyard with a telescope you're still paying off.
