Thanks guys - much happier now I am not trying to achieve something approaching Real colour.
I have to thank our new friend Mr Crawford. He made throw away comment to me during the week he was here about using the channel mixer in PS to achieve your palette and that led to a eureka moment - So that's how they do it says Mark slapping his forehead. So it was just a matter of selecting a palette as a matter of taste and while I'm not trying to emulate Tom Davis I have always been impressed by his blue dominant mapped images - so I settled on this. Still a bit clipped but I will work on that with some more data - I have the outer shell in the OIII subs.
DOF was thanks to Kens tutorials as well - selectively sharp in the foreground and slight blurring in the background.
Thanks for the comments and if any other beginners want a heads up on pallette management away from slime green I am more than happy to share uninformed and probably incorrect information.
