(a bit late, I was looking for more of your ship after commenting on the
take off sequence).

I love this, but the colors just look 'odd' to me.  Most nebulae either have
glows from oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen atoms, blue, green, and red
respectively.  Look at some of the Astronomy pictures of the day, i.e.

and
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap000802.html
and
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap030228.html
sometimes sulphur:

and some reflection nebulas that reflect (blue) light:

The key though is that you have to look for 'representative color', as most
astro images are 'false color' to show specific frequencies of light that
aren't 'real' (what we would see with our eyes).
