I would first post a smaller version. The image is really too big for a typical monitor. I did a bit of color enhancement of the brighter portiong of the nebula. First, I copied the red channel and used it as a Luminance channel. This brought out the tendrils. I then did a bit of unsharp masking of selected regions and increased the color saturation. You really have quite a bit of detail showing. Don't be afraid to experiment with the image in Photoshop.
