Taken on Sunday night as well NGC4945 galaxy. taken with the UHC-S filter as i didn't want to knock my focus for neb objects. Wasn't enough data only 6 x 5 minutes at ISO200 with the C10 canon 300d modified. autoguided with EQ6 orion ED80 + meade DSI II.
I think i have taken better galaxy images with the DSI II than now the 300d modded don't know why.

It may be a simple matter of adjusting the colour balance in your processing software. In IRIS I find 1.38: 1.00:1.23 RGB works well for the modded Canon
Try without the UHCS, I find that as galaxies are broadband in light colours, the UHCS isnt that effective and a considerable amount of galaxy light is also blocked. If you run the same exposures without the UHCS you will be pleasantly surprised.
That is quite good for a benula filtered galaxy image, so will really do well without the filter

cheers guys thanks for your reply. Will definitely reprocess this once again as im not that happy with the colours. I was afraid to knock my focus so i couldn't be bothered taking the UHC-S filter out
