Based off stuff I've read  on various sites, and especially Monsoon's excellent freebie space scene on 3DCommune :)

Just checkin out the tute...I don't get too far as my box is sloooow, but it looks quite good....have you tried clicking on Volumetric material and applying a Volumetric Cloud texture/Mat yet...too much for this old box but would love to see the results. Then you could fly thru Volumetric Nebulae...could be cool

Nice work by the way...

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again

It does work with volumetric materials. That's what my commercial Cosmosphere uses in the Commune store.  The ones in free stuff used a cloud material.....  If you use volumetric materials, then you have to find a good distribution function or image map and set the quality down to medium or it'll take a long time to render.

Very nice tutorial. 

I've been doing something similar recently to make mist, clouds and smoke except mapping multiple spheres arranged in front of the camera.  That bit of luminous makes a lot of difference.  I found putting a filter in between the combiner node and the transparancy gives a lot more control over the final outcome too, don't know if it would make a difference to your nebula but might be worth a try.
