Thanks Mike
Yes, I saw your pic with the blue. I experimented with a bluer look, but I wasn’t convinced it was the right way to go. Have a look at a couple of apod pics here

Lots of brown.
On another matter. Have a look just below the bright star on the lower left. There is a little group of galaxies and a longish linear streak. I wonder if you know what it is?. It’s not an artefact. Have a look at your image. It’s there too.
