Description I have finalized it. This is the completed version. I encourage advanced critique for this one so my later deviations will contain fewer flaws.

Ooh I like it a lot, the only thing I noticed that the stars kinda appear to be like dots- I think to some (not all) you should add a little more shine to them, and maybe even by making others a little bigger so that they're not all the same size (even though they aren't, but some do appear so)

ahaha that's my very brutal/advanced critique for ya.

other than that this is great! I had no idea you did things like this. This reminds me of all that wallpaper type stuff on that blasphemy website you guys once showed me.

Hey all!
Just updated this deviation. As is apparant right away for the previous viewers, I have added a large star in the top-left corner and a black hole into the blue nebula. I also deleted the antialiasing trail I left behind on the last deviation. Lastly, I made the auroras a tad brighter.

Hello there! This is an interesting attempt and I find it to my liking, although there are some things I could recommend you on that:
1) There are two lines at the top of the pictures formed by a group of stars, try to erase them with PS on a low opacity brush.
2) I guess the cloudy nebula needs a bit bigger fade into the environment, try to play with the layer modes in PS.
3) The clouds on the lower part look a bit flat, I guess you haven't checked the 3d mark in terragen.
4) A bit about the composition - it does look good, but the upper left part of the picture seems rather empty.. I guess it needs something to balance it a bit.

I am not quite sure if you use terragen or photoshop, it just looks like that. Good luck on this, it has the potential to be a very-very good-looking terraspace

Thanks for your input. I do appreciate it.
I do use Terragen and Photoshop though in this I only used Photoshop to create the planet on the right. For the most part, I use Paint.NET.
Terragen is only the trial version so I'm very limited with what I can do (3d is not an option for me).
I'll take care of the line of "stars" at the top. That is actually the remainder of some antialiasing I did when combining layers. I guess I missed that.
I'll try to add a little somethin' to the top-left.
I cannot really do anything to the nebulae anymore. I accidentally saved the PDN file while the layers were combined.
Other than that I can only add a few more things or this might get too crowded.
Once again, thank you.
