Oh shucks now you made me blush.

OK first I opened the image and made the first adjustment:
Image | Adjustments | Colour Balance

Shadows radio button, Red = +12, Green = +1, Blue = -6
Mid radio button, Red = +2, Green = 0, Blue = +4
Highlight radio button, Red = +26, Green = -25, Blue = -30

Then goto Image | Adjustments | Levels

Here we shift the histogram back down a little to balance the sky b/g.

Levels: Black Point slider move up to 13 and Mid point slider move to 1.09, leave the Highlights slider on 255.

You can experiment to suit your taste and obviously what looks better on your screen and go from there but this gives you a quick idea.

Here's the before and after screenshots.

PS I enjoyed reading your escapades with Joe P, yourself and others in your group chasing McNaught back in 2007 in the magazine article.
