Apparently, the sdB primary of the HW Virginis system is transparent. Got some kind of weird abstractness going on here...

That looks great! I loved that book too and wasn't the ring supposed to be made of diamond? It's been a while since I've read it.

The next project with "fsgregs" will be like the "Enterprise Leaving Spacedock" addon.

What the night sky of a planet in the M-33 galaxy might look like.

The big spiral hanging in the sky is Andromeda. :)

Another view of the same system (I changed some colors on the alien probe) :)

A gas giant in the process of being artificially converted into a small star (this process is called 'stellification' in Orion's Arm)

And a gas giant with a luminous band (a 'sunline')

This one with the lightband looks nice and very strange at the same time. Is that the normal nightside to the right of the picture or a colorization of your texture?
And how is the whole nightside looking like?

Spaceman,

Without any explanation or context, your second picture is visually ambiguous. To, me it just looks like some random lines, rings, dots, and other shapes.

Perhaps if you elaborated on what exactly each of the features is, and described where the observer is located in relation to them, we might stand a chance of making some sense of what we're actually looking at in this scene...
