After a lot of color changes (4 additional layers for the color) and adding more of the darker clouds it turned out to be pretty different from all the other parts. Very grudgy but still very realistic in my opinion. The format is something special, too. Hope you like it.

I was recently working on a background starfield which I could use on the way of creating new pictures. I had so much fun doing it that it developed to more than just a piece of background. I was working on it from time to time adding more and more details. When I was finished I found that it was actually quite good considering the colors and level of detail. But the composition as a whole was terrible. I didn't want to add one or more planets because I thought this would draw away the attention too much. So I decided to split the whole thing into multiple small pictures. I ended up having eight smaller parts where I thought the composition was good enough and all together they covered most of the original starfield. I will submit all the eight parts to deviantArt from time to time. When all eight pieces are submitted I would really like to know which one was your favorite.

Hahaha, the only thing I'd nitpick would be suggesting some patches of slightly brighter gases to draw the eye about. Very small patches. But it seems like you've done that already this time, so I don't think it'd have done much to say it.
