Yes Darryl I am using Meade DSI colour with no filters. I've downloaded the same pic after a bit more tweeking with Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9.
Not sure if it look's any better but it is red!! I tried to match colours to a pic. taken by Hubble,so it must be right.

Getting the right focus is not easy,I have a hartman mask with 2 holes that help but seem's not good enough, maybe i'le make a defraction mask and see if that's any better.
Would I be right in thinking that if "seeing" is not that good getting 99.9% focus is unlikly?? so getting good focus is more about choosing the right night?? Dave
