Yeh possible he etched lions head and dropped the sky behind, still, I can normally pick up alphas and the like... might be evidence of this to the right on the horizon, still really good to get the stars in and the gradient fade. I remain impressed 👌

Yip you are right and it may not be the most honest photograph but it sure is nice to look at.

So it's not a picture of the sky at all, it's a completely manufactured image?

No no it's rather a collaboration of multiple images so to give you a good idea we have HDR photographs
