Andy, we just love it.
Let's just talk abot the top half - Gabriela Mistral, Gem Cluster, and surrounding nebulosity - is beautiful and informative. Ms Mistral seems to be reclining in a lounge chair upholstered in a magnificent fabric, peacock blues at the bottom, and a pure orange-gold at the top, which in turn could be a bent and furry Wookie arm with precisely formed hairy thumb and fingers, or it could be the curved neck and head of a dragon. Same scaly woven structure, three simultaneous perfect interpretations - upholstery, hand, dragon - and we've never noticed any of them before.
Although some of the lower central regions are perhaps a bit on the fluoro side, the overall gold and blue colour scheme works really well, especially in the fainter passages.
Bravo!
