Description
I wanted to create the nebula gas but not like this
I refered to Hubble's gallery
[link]

How can I make it more transparent, shiny and sharped nebula gas?
Example: Orion nebula [link]

----
Blender 2.62
Planet surface: Sculpted mesh, MultiResolution x9, Mask for creater, Deform modifiyer with bump, Normal map
Nebula effect: Smoke physics, Particles, Point Light, Node filter for stars

UPDATE: Nebula is built with Halo, also Supernova. Ground surface mesh is little broken then MultiRes modifyer is reduced to 8

Note: There are some limits in this way.
-This halo is made from just one point vertex, Nebula is made with texture of random cloud pattern. so you can't adjust Nebula freely as you think. you can modify it pattern size, color band, and ramdom seed. Try some options several times.
-Usually the halo dosen't receive the light. Then you have to create sightly if you want shaded and in the light Nebula.
-One bug i think. in the Material Halo options, "Soft" function couldn't work with layer mask. Halo color leaks out to another layers. python module "MaterialHalo.use_soft".
