Excellent work Mike. There is no doubt the blue halo is present, alas I agree with Peter in that the image is too blue. Equally the pink hues of the nebula look rather muted, lacking vibrancy. It may help if you balance your black point better (as per the attached). Raising the blue black point would address the "too blue" issue. Personally I'd also be raising the black point of the other channels to get more saturation, but thats a matter of taste. This aside, a top of the shelf image in all. Details are exceptional and you've handled the vast dynamic range of the target very well. Well done.
