I liked it, but it looked too much like a cut-and-paste, or something synthetic like the excellent stuff on Digital Blasphemy.

Most astro-pics, as I'm sure you know, are not as one actually sees the object with the naked eye, but rather the result of long time-exposures: keeping the scope trained on the subject to collect light over a long period of time. The light eventually builds up on the plate and becomes intense. Other astro-pics (from large professional scopes like Hubble, etc) are composites of various EM frequencies (besides standard optical), such as infrared, ultraviolet, ..., combined to appear as a single image. They also typically exaggerate colors, or arbitrarily assign colors to various EMR (electro-magnetic radiation) frequencies.
