Great fov in this image Murray. Yes the first image is my favourite too, but yes far more colour range should be possible.
Do you use the SHO-AIP script in PI? I find it crucial and intuitive to balance out the different filters. Tweak the percentage sliders over and over again until you go mad, well until the result is balanced at least, it achieves similar results to the Astrodome tutes that Andy posted. Happy to video an example if you want. Also, use Linear Fit to ensure each NB image is equalised.
Even after all the pi work, you still need to rework the balances in PS, using selective colour and any other colour balancing tools. Haha, then I usually Goto Lightroom after that, it has very impressive and easy to use colour balancing sliders.
Have fun experimenting and achieving new looks.
