Nice FOV and galaxy, but it's a bit green, have you got HLVG plugin?  That should sort it out.

That is potentially a very good image. I love the Andromeda Galaxy.   But the stars and the galaxy look a bit green/cyan - just like your comet image.

There must be something going wrong with the colour balance somewhere in your workflow.

That little WO66 scope has really come up with the goods Fay, it's just right for to fit in M31. Once you've got the colour sorted it'll be a cracking shot. I bet your colour processing skills are a bit rusty, you seem to have done nothing but mono Ha for yonks.
