Step 1

Open up a new **** 400x400px, and fill the background with #1e1e1e. Create a new layer named 'outter bg', make a circle selection of 270x270px in the center of the **** and apply a gradient from #ffac6a to #ff7506.



Step 2

Apply an Outer Glow an a Stroke.



Step 3

Create a new layer named 'inner bg', make a circle selection of 240x240px and fill with #1e1e1e. Apply a Stroke.



Step 4

Make a new layer named 'shine 1' select your 'inner bg' layer and fill your selection on the 'shine 1' layer with #ffffff and lower the opacity of the layer to 2%. Duplicate this layer and name it 'shine 2' and apply Edit > Transform > Scale and while holding down Shift+Alt move the top and bottom sides inwards about 10 px. Repeat this so you have about 7 shine layers.

Great information here Peter. I think if we could at least implement some of these tips we would definitely be more efficient when working at home.
