Nick why is there no colour?

I'm not familiar with CCD imaging I thought the filters add the colour?

The first image is just one channel :)

I need to sort out some issues so that the images for each channel overlap precisely for the final version :)
 
Most likely a very stupid and retarded question inbound:

When i've seen pictures/diagrams of the observable universe, why is there only 2 opposite 'cones' with the rest of the 'circle' missing?
