Thanks Michael. Shadows are a problem in (deep) space scenes. It the 
reason why I have put Neptune to the left of the image. It reflects part 
of the sunlight on the ship with a bluish tint. Making the ship of a 
lighter colour helps too.

I agree about the turbulence. I started to work on that and then got
