Yes!! You guys have picked what has been driving me crazy with this image!! I do see a much denser outer shroud in the NB data that is toned down in the final image here---I am still playing with the data to try and show the star colours and the detail in the central nebula as well as the brighter outer shell....I will hopefully have a second version to post if I don't get put into a straight jacket first...

Thanks to everyone who has commented!
Cheers,
Tim
