Thank you all for you very kind comments. Much appreciated.
The time I've spent playing around with image processing in Photoshop has been a good investment. So much learnt and so much learning to do.

Good comment, Mike. I took the blues rather late in the night (err, late in the morning) and lower down and they may have suffered more scattering (thin cloud?) than the reds and greens. I generally do the blues when the object is highest, but for this one, thinking the emission was the important colour I started a colour series in CCDSoft with red and just let it rip.

I like to listen to the (car) radio, too, except that last time I (unknowingly) flattened the battery and I got a nasty surprise in the morning when I tried to start up. Middle of nowhere is right and very poor mobile reception to boot
. I was looking to walk the 15km into town or phone for help once reception improved, when I recalled that there might be a couple of homesteads in the area hidden away in the bush. Fortunately there was and a nice lady was home (rather surprised to see me as they don't get any through foot-traffic). Got a jump start (of the car) and all was well.
As for singing arias...well, these neighbours are definitely within earshot and I'll also take pity on the poor animals in the area trying to get some shut-eye! Don't want to outstay my welcome....
