This is not a processing artifact… this is a shot form the middle of a 5 hour time-lapse sequence I shot last night, and the color developed as the camera was out shooting.
Oxygen atoms glow green in the earth's atmosphere, and on moonless nights you can often see traces of this green light in the sky. It's easiest to see from the side since you're looking at more cumulative photons of that light, so it's most often noticed close to the horizon. On this night however, the effect was intense enough to fill the frame as seen through a 16mm ultra-wide lens.
Here are some examples of how my night time-lapse videos turn out: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6012D9822C1BA1E7
