I know your frustrations, Dave. I'm absolutely rubbish at planetary imaging, but I do have a DBK21 camera and I have seen the colour and white balance issue on your Mars shot a bit. Took me some tinkering to figure out what was going wrong.

Not sure which image capture software you're using. I tried using K3CCDTools, but the latest version of Imaging Source's IC Capture seems very good and been using that.

Anyway, seems to be the auto white balance settings. So I untick the auto WB option, and manually adjust the R and B keeping an eye on the histogram. Just need to make sure none of the channels go over saturation as they fluctuate.

Sorry if all of the above you're already familiar with. Just that I lost a few nights figuring this out and if I can help save you some time... That auto WB issue is something us with the DBK have to deal with that the mono guys don't AFAIK.
