I struggle to decide how to present colour for milky way wide fields.My camera captures with auto white balance a yellow coloured milky way. Should galactic dust and stars be white, yellow? This isn't a criticism, just posing the question for which I am never sure of the right answer.

I believe that the colour is a bit off Joe, was just a quick process before I went to bed. There is a green cast over the image that shouldn't be there, many of the blue stars are more aqua which I don't think is a good thing. Most likely my fault during the processing.
I think the galactic dust should be a bit redder than what I have shown, thats a processing problem from me trying to remove gradients. That is what I get with a 60% moon behind me and surrounded by various amounts of light pollution
Be as critical as you like of this shot, I know I am
I am happy enough with it for what it is, no award winner by any means. I was just playing, curious to see how the lens would perform at full (or near enough to) extension and wide open. I know I need to step it down, not sure what to yet. If my 50mm F/1.8 is any indication, may have step to F/7.1 to get a reasonably flat image (no birds in the corners of the image).
