Yes Auto is fine although I like the preview images that Fluro gives me, as you know it gets changed later in post processing anyway, I only suggested it for g_day as a starting point.
As I said, ideally you need to calibrate the WB to a G2V star later in PP.

Yes exactly Roger, I use a grey card in a test shot under the same light as the main image and calibrate/set the WB, then take the shot.
Although I use an 18% grey card.
