And the bartender says, "Why the long exposure?"
A very fine, highly narratogenic image. The globular cluster seems to be the odd one out, since most of the rest of the story, with the dust and the PN is about things happening very close to us in both space and time.
Andy's Scorpion King is very obvious, but it could also be a medusa (either of the jellyfish variety or of the Perseus and Andromeda gorgon type), or it could be an ink droplet carefully placed by an extremely large deity, diffusing into tendrils amongst the stars. There is also a pair of glowing eyes toward bottom left of the scorpion/medusa/inkdrop, perhaps a little gremlin minding its own business.
Very well done!
Colour-wise, we'd love to see a version with the general starry background more golden, while still showing the true emission colours of the PN. No idea how one would go about that, but others are starting to figure out how to do it.
