Hi Johnny,
Mate you can adjust the colour balance very easy in any of the commonly used processing programs. I have attached a very quick adjustment with screen shots of what I did. I use Pixinsight but yo can use photoshop or any of the others with the same result. This took literally 2 minutes to do.
The first histogram shows all three channels of your original image. See how the red channel is further to the right hand side compared to the other two? this is what you need to fix to colour balance your image.
The second image shows what the red channel looked like before adjustment.
The third image shows the adjustment i made to the red channel. To bring it to the left compared to the other two channels you simply slide the middle slider to the right which makes the line across the middle dip.
The fourth image shows the RGB histogram after adjustment to the red channel. See how they are closer to peaking at the same point. It doesn't matter that they are different shapes as long as they peak in generally the same position.
Finally I have attached what my adjustment did to your image. I know it's not perfect and there are other thing you could do, but that has improved teh colour balance while still allowing the natural colours to be shown.
After making the histogram adjustment there was a touch of green across the image. It is as simple as running the free HLVG plug in in photoshop to remove the green cast. I have attached the image after HLVG as well.
Hope that helps. I always find it more helpful to post screen shots etc to show you what was done to your image. I believe that way you can then apply the changes to your raw data and learn as you go.
By the way, your image is very good and quite a lot of detail in there. Processing is a huge learning curve that I believe you never reach the top of. Keep the images coming and keep asking questions, generally someone will be able to help you out.
