Thanks guys!

Jorge, so far as I can see, the redder bits of nebulosity are real (they're on an ESO image i saw too, and probably many others). The colour suggests they are parts of the nebulae where the hydrogen emission is reddened by dust scattering of the blue Balmer lines but not so much of the red - a bit like the difference between NGC3576 and NGC3603.
