Yep the Netherlands must be terrible for sky. We have a friend (Ilse Van Der Velden) who comes from Holland to Leyburn every so often to get good dark sky. In fact she is soming in September again with Ikifumi Makino - (A japanese friend who escapes Japanese light pollution here). She is the sister of Erwin Van Der Velden - a friend who passed away a couple of years ago (far too young) - he did amazing things back in the 90s with modified web cams etc as well as normal film astrophotography. Links to Erwins page are on the Leyburn website. He is actually credited with discovering polar ice caps on Mrecury prior to NASA announcing it.
I know from discussions with Ilse and Erwin that there is a very active astrophotography group in the Netherlands.
