I absolutely love the detail in the WR star.  Fantastic job.

Besides the ionized gas and dust in the area, the most interesting thing is the aftermath of the Wolf Rayet 134 star showing the ionized OIII ring around it.  Best seen without stars, and looks much like the filimentary structures seen around the Crescent nebula, also the result of a Wolf Rayet star.    

Shown in multiple color palettes here and different amount of star content.
