I think that the lighting still leaves much to be desired.

Give an artist the tools he needs...
It's really great, but I'm being overly flattering because this is so new a
thing still.  Instead of glows I'm sure media could be used too, although
perhaps that's much slower.
You have a bit too much turbulence in that isosurface making parts detach so
it's loses some credibility.
How did you go about aligning the stars?  Is there a image map behind there
or one used as a template?

I agree, I still need more practice with the iso's. ("ridgedMF" by the way)
The stars were actually placed by eye, when I started fooling with the glows
and added a touch of turbulence it reminded me of the photos I have seen of
this star cluster so I looked at a picture and started adding the other
stars. Just one of the more obvious uses of the new glows.
