Tried containing it in it's own sphere, either the colors get whited out or
they invert.  Changing the size of the sphere doesn't seem to help in the
least, and I haven't been able to get results nearly as satisfactory as in
the attatched image with density maps. (I tried a spherical mapping and
average.)

I'll be experimenting more with the media layout, I have had some good
results with using a black hole warp to modify the corona density.  In the
meantime, the source is in p.b.s-f for anyone who wants to experiment with
it. (see Project Suncatcher)

If you do have any results, please keep me posted.
