Dan,
Very nice shot. I love the depth and the star sizes. The narrow band color mapping brings a lot to this object. I suspect that the detail comes out due to the good data you were able to start with. (As you subsequently mentioned)
There is one thing that surprises me about your image.... Given your color mapping, I would have thought that H-Alpha (green) would have dominated in the interior of the object; instead, OIII seems to have dominated.
