I hope that my quick "live sports action" shot starts to look a bit more like yours when it grows up and gets more hours. The yellow inner core has always been very salient to me visually (16" Dob) - looking like a rising moon, or perhaps a chinese lantern, in the centre of the largely colourless halo. I'd wondered whether the visual effect was just because only the core was bright enough to stimulate the cones, but it seems real photographically.
