. i agree it looks a tad "warm" but with all that milky way sky it could have been the colours surrounding as well from the local landscape? Nice work Mike.
As for the polar alignment - get the polar scope for this - worth its weight in gold. I used it several times as Astrofest and it made life very good – my 46 minutes worth of shots on crux hardly moved – I never cropped the image. So when you get it right it works well. If I had have trusted it more I could have gone a lot longer in the exposure department – live and learn.
