The Tarantula nebula is not inherently blue or cyan. Unless you failed the Ishihara test, it would look red if you retina had cones that worked in the dark.

The fix, and I'm not talking about photometrically/pantone accurate dead nuts on colour, just a "shade" or two fix, is to simply use, well Iris, like Scott pointed out, or PS and simply adjust the red curve.

There is no law that says this is necessary, and sorry to harp on, but I suspect Canon would have a problem pedaling happy snap cameras that made skin-tones look green (unless Marvin the Martian is your best buddy)
i like marvin

but you cant just group all dslr's in the one basket Peter, especially with colour balance
