Well it looks like I need a different monitor for processing

This it the reply I got from ukastroimaging

Laptop screens are a bit notorious for being way off and hard to calibrate, when I can I check with my desktop before posting, but it's not always possible.
Nice image :), but yes it is too green :(

Indeed so Carl - one of the priorities in the design of a laptop screen is to keep the power consumption down. This leads to compromises elesewhere and colour saturation is generally lower and not anywhere near as accurate as a desktop unit which will use more juice but give brighter and more accurate colours.

Of course for real accuracy the good old fashioned CRT still has an advantage, but desktop TFTs are generally good enough now. Laptops are very compromised.

A grand image Carl,
Laptop screens just cant be trusted for processing, a good auld CRT monitor does the job.

Carl,

There is also a hint of green on my monitor as well but I really feel indifferent. It is a very sweet image with really good detail. I certainly would not turn my back on this effort!
