The colour doesn't look right on this one - too yellow/green?

There is definitely a different technique and emphasis needed for widefield versus longer focal length imaging. Rich starfields don't hold up well to a lot of processing without making them hard or sharp, so lots of data and good composition are the main aspects.
Thanks Mike great advice, especially the last part about the need for lots of data and less processing
