Setting white balance in post gives the most versatility.

With Canon cameras, all the settings that are available in the camera (white balance, contrast, saturation, etc.,) are also available via Digital Photo Professional and match precisely. Unlike using Lightroom/ACR which has nothing to do with the Canon format.

So, I just leave white balance to auto and then shift between 3800 to 4300 degrees Kelvin. If doing a long sequence or if the Moon affects your images, then, each file has to be shifted manually to match.

Yep, it's the f/4.5 aperture that would have contributed to being slightly understated at 2 minutes of exposure. A lot of us are used to shooting at f/2.8, so, you have to bear in mind that f/4.5 is almost two and-a-half times less light coming in for the same exposure duration.
