Help - what white balance setting?

Tonight I want to shoot time lapse of the Leonids. I'll be photographing fairly dark sky, stars and hopefully lots of meteors (and probably wandering aircraft).

For my first attempts at timelapse, I left white balance on my Pentax K100D set to "Auto". This time I want to set it to another setting to prevent changes between shots. But which setting???

Here are the settings on the camera. Scratch out "Auto". I won't know enough to fiddle with "Manual". So which one should I set it to? "Tungsten"?

• Auto
• Daylight
• Shade
• Cloudy
• Fluorescent W
• Fluorescent N
• Fluorescent D
• Tungsten
• Flash
• Manual

Thanks in advance
Eric
