How to remove blue cast from CLS-CCD filter?

I recently acquired a cls-ccd Astronomik filter for use with my 600D and noticed a heavy blue colour cast with my images. Is there any way of removing it and if so how? I have Canon DPP and Photoshop CS6. I'd greatly appreciate the help, thanks!

Your image with a blue cast is normal for a sub taken with the CLS filter. This is a problem easily solved. If you stack your subs using Deep Sky Stacker (free) there is an option to Align the RGB channels - your resulting stacked image then has properly balanced colour - much easier than trying to do it manually in Adobe.

Thanks Dave! I'll give it a shot and report back how it goes.

I adjust it in CS5. I guess CS6 would be similar.

Open an image, go to the Window menu and tick histogram. You should have a little colour histogram box on the screen now. Then in the image menu, select adjustments, select color balance. Adjust the 3 sliders until the colour peaks in the histogram window overlap, or to your liking.

There's a lot of other ways of doing it in photoshop also, as in the link.
