I especially like the top image. I remember seeing art like this as a kid, and it was part of the reason why this hobby caught me so early. Keep that in mind, and keep up the great work!

I don't think background stars would be visible so close to Vega.

Have you ever done one of the likely view from a planet going around a star in a globular cluster?

Now that sounds like it would be fun to do, I have not but I shall put it on the list of things to do
I normally just do these for Fun rather than any scientific purpose but the next step is to do just that

Come to think of it, maybe Vincent van Gogh beat you to it with The Starry Night.

Funny, I am actully painting one now. I started last week but I never had the time to finish it. I can show you a WIP shot of it if you want. It is the 1st one to be in my space art series that I am thikning to sell as prints. I am not sure if it will be good enough to sell. Sorry for the long post. It is just hard to find a place where you can share this with astronomers

orionthehunters,
beautiful work of art. I have the same problem sometimes. I feel like I want to include the stars in my daytime work specialy if it was about an extraplanet. You should check my 1st work, it was about Vega and it was REALY bad. :P
Hope to see more of your work.
