you might want to try playing with other ways of adjusting the colour balance in photoshop - if you equalise the R, G and B curves then every object is going to tend to lose its colour somewhat.
for images with my Hutech 40D, I do the colour balancing step in ImagesPlus by multiplying the Green Channel by 1.89 and the Blue Channel by 1.64 (I measured the required values from a grey card). You could do something similar in Photoshop or try playing with some other astro imaging software.
