Managing colour space is a perennial challenge. Photoshop has a multitude of proofing profiles. Small variations in hue are reasonable, and probably unavoidable....but I think we've covered that elsewhere

The diffraction spikes are built into the 'scope

I sometimes put bits of string over a perfectly good refractor objective to get them eg:

I struggled to get a nice shot of M83 last year, finally got something half decent, but never in this league. Just wish you could eliminate the diffraction spikes!
