That's with a backdrop patched together from pieces of a Hubble photo, once I figured out how one does masking in PhotoPlus. The nebula has transparency based on a grayscale of the cloud, mixed with a bit of a flame texture. That gets the color close to the muted tone of the limited palette - no way to exactly hit it with a photo for starters.

I maneuvered a bright star midway in the ring - that's our assumed remnant of what went blooey (technical stellar cartography term).

So far that's picture, not map. Mappification to follow.
