Omega Centauri Full Moon

Hi all,
With all work commitments over I was desperate to photograph something. The first image is a 2 Minute shot and processed very simply (my ability, curves and levels once) using GIMP at ISO 800. The second is 6 X 2 Min lights and 4 X 2 Min darks stacked DSS then processed using GIMP as mentioned above. I tend to prefer the first due to the colour. I don't know how to bring up the colour in the second one.
Shot using Skywatcher ED 80 guided using PHD with Canon 400d unmod.
Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks
Mark B
