or perhaps the angle we view it through extincts a bit of the blue?

Greg.
I guess I stand corrected then. I never thought a DSLR without any narrowband filter shenanigans could detect that much 'real' green!
Is there anything else besides OIII that's green?

One thing I do to check if it's just the object or me, is to run my image through The GIMPs RGB Max filter (is there an equivalent in PS?). It shows you which color channel is dominant. If even most empty space is green, I usually turn my green down a notch.

Anyhow, I'm starting to realize that lately, I've been turning threads about gorgeous images into technical processing ramblings (shows you what's on my mind ), so I'll shut up now!

Again, stellar effort Alan!
