The problem is that it isn't a single one-off ratio. Atmospheric effects mean that the sensitivity of a scope/camera at different colours is changing all the time.

Nothing wrong with that, Rob. Using LinearFit will just balance the channels. I often use this technique for narrowband. An unlinked stretch does much the same thing.
