Before you get more data try using the burn tool in either Photoshop or gimp on some of your dark filaments ..but sparingly and that will make it really pop.
You could use the dodge tool on some off the outter nebulosity to bring it out but just a little..it's easy to get carried away with both those tools.
I like to do it using two layers..in your case the image posted and a copy which you use the dodge and burn tools...then merge the two so you get between the original and the dodge and burn one as you will overdo it probably and when you merge you get something better than either of the first two...in fact that procedure works for me with simple things like applying contrast and brightness.. merging eases ones heavy hand.
