Looks like you nested wrinkles or granite inside a
bumps pattern, but still looks quite flat compared to Gail's result
Maybe jumping up the octaves and lambda by a large factor would give it
more grain?

Interesting. Are the star textures or objects?
The reason mine is slow is that I'm distributing the stars (at the moment a
total of 20000) according to
a density. I think most of the parsing time comes from a location not
matching the required density and having to be
recalculated.
