Default amateur color pic - methane in Titan's atmosphere ?

Titan's a topical subject [well two weeks ago!] and just been playing
with my spectrogram taken Jan 23 via the 30cm SCT+grating+ Canon 300D

and note that when the image was stretched vertically surprised to
find a distinct line/band in the red for Titan which seem similar to
earlier results in B&W with an astro CCD indicating methane in the
Titan atmosphere.
