As to the blue, my only pic of it that's wide-ish is from my 6" F5 I took back in 2015. There's a hint of blue in mine but knowing me I probably thought it was a gradient and processed it out. So I'm not much help really.
I attempted to process it out with several passes of gradient removal, both as a RGB image and on individual colour channels.

I didn't do any framing, did nothing more than slew to NGC 6334 and push start on the invelometer and go to bed. Was two days before I even checked any frames haha

What does confuse me with it being a moon gradient is that the moon at set (shot between 2-3:30am on tuesday) and although it is brighter on the left than right, there is perfect blacks in the middle.
