Steven,

I still have had little luck finding Ultraviolet images that are easily comparable with yours.

However, here is a preview of a Hubble Space Telescope image of the Orion Nebula that I just downloaded from hla.stsci.edu(the Hubble Legacy Archive), which was taken at similar wavelengths to your image.

This Hubble image is a composite of an F439W filter image (this filter is similar to the standard Johnson B ("blue") filter) and another image taken with the F336W filter (which is very roughly similar to a U filter image)

Both images were taken with the HST and its WFPC2 instrument. The Principal Investigator of the program in which these images were taken was Beckwith, and the Proposal ID is 8894.

(I have not displayed only the UV image, as it is very ratty indeed)

I agree with Ken's comment that you are "boldly going" (!!)
There are always a few individuals who will be in the lead, while the others, like sheep, just go on doing what everybody else is doing.
