Visible Star in a Nebula

I'll keep it simple: I have a star in a nebula. I want to be able to see it outside of the nebula. The sun_scalar and sun_intensity entries in the nebula.ini have no effect for when you're outside the nebula, only inside. My question is: how do I get the star visible from the exterior?

Possibly editing the nebula, itself would work?

[Fog
fog_enabled = 1 <-------------------Change to 0?
near = 0
distance = 2500 <-------------------Increase or decrease?
color = 40, 100, 200

[properties
flag = nebula

[Exterior
shape = crow_exterior1
shape = crow_exterior2
shape = crow_exterior3
shape = crow_exterior4
shape_weights = 1, 1, 1, 1
fill_shape = nebula_circle2
plane_slices = 5
bit_radius = 8000
bit_radius_random_variation = 0.200000
min_bits = 5
max_bits = 12
move_bit_percent = 0.250000
equator_bias = 0.500000 <-----------------Not sure about this one?
color = 110, 140, 190

[NebulaLight
ambient = 40, 80, 65
sun_burnthrough_intensity = 0.500000 <-----My best guess change these two
sun_burnthrough_scaler = 2 <------------------My best guess change these two

[Clouds
max_distance = 400
puff_count = 20
puff_radius = 150
puff_colora = 70, 190, 200
puff_colorb = 80, 140, 255
puff_shape = crow_cloud1
puff_shape = crow_cloud2
puff_shape = crow_cloud3
puff_shape = crow_cloud4
puff_weights = 1, 1, 1, 1
puff_drift = 2.000000
near_fade_distance = 150, 225 <----------------Maybe?

I left out exclusion zones as they wouldn't help you.


Watch your 6!

As I said in my initial post, those two didn't affect the others... I'll try the others, but I'd also like more ideas to be posted, as well.
