Very nice first attempt at the Horsehead. Still a red bias there - try opening all the colour histograms (window/histogram) then use levels or curves to pull back the red histogram into line.

The Flame nebula is more a yellow and there are patches of blue reflection neb in the area as well. The horse itself is black.

With modded DSLRs you can set custom white balance so you don't have to pull back the red so much each time you process images from one.

Get an 18% photographic grey card from a camera shot and take a shop of that in sunlight around midday and set it as the custom white balance.

Greg.
