For some reason, the blue snowball came out green. It looked that way before processing (with MLUnsold's ImagePlus), so the processing didn't do it. I have no idea what the color balance was set to--in Photoshop, it comes up as "as shot" and it says "custom" on the camera's menu--I think MLUnsold's ImagePlus Camera Control made that setting for me.

Blue snowball! My favorite name for an astronomical object. Nice image.

That's the color that I got for it with an ST-9 (RGB filters). By eye it looks more blue, but that might be due mostly to the response function of the mark-1 eyeball.
