I understand what you mean. There is little processing on this - I did a background neutralisation and white balance, then stretched. Nothing was done selectively or on any particular channel to modify that blue. So I think the white balance is ok, it's just that bright star.
I recall Rogelio Bernal Andreo saying once that he gets similar comments on his brighter blue stars, and he put it down to a property of the filters or something. If I recall correctly, he uses the same Astrodons as I do.
I was a bit torn while processing. I know that stars are supposed to be pastel sort of colours, and all but one star in this image are (to my eyes). On the other hand, I like the effect that came out, the bright beacon versus the cluster. Kind of balances in my mind.
