More colors, more flowy, giant stars. Well, same set of colors, but each cloud is now a multihued gradient.
The star doesn't have the best placement, but it was tricky enough figuring out how to decide where to place it at all.
Generation times have improved, due to some optimizations, I can get about 1.3 million pixels of cloud structure per minute (entire image is 5.4 million total, with about 2.7 million pixels of cloud).

I had another one sometime after this one that looked like a comet. The giant star had this nice purple whispy cloud off towards the left, looking like tail.
Funny thing is, it actually looks better scaled down ever so slightly (and possibly jpg artifacted?). Gets a grainy look, as well as smoothing out some of the hard edges. Something I've been trouble replicating without resorting to transform matrices (afterall, I'm aiming for a given size, 'twould be silly to scale it down!).
