The other CN emission band ...

The other CN emission range is 6900 - 8600 angstroms (red light). The intensity of the red band is two orders-of-magnitude less than the violet emissions. If the Mauna Kea telescopes are only seeing IR then they'll only be seeing a tiny fraction of the total light radiated from Huygens. I wonder if someone could get some Hubble time for this observation?
