[ozscydpd] Nebula

Why are pictures of nebulae in space so fascinating?  I speculate it's the contrast of many different colors generally not seen on earth, and the mix of high and low spatial frequency components.  Dark shadows are also important, as a consequence of its three dimensionality.

Generate synthetic images of nebulae based on these or other constraints.  Run a poll about which images are prettier than which, and try to optimize.
