which demonstrates that this will be sensitive to the choice of reference point for the white balance. It's a stronger purple in my original image above since I used the entire heart nebula as the reference point

Very good point 👍 IIRC I used an even bigger area in my original wide field image which may have changed that reference further.  Thanks @cfinn

For me these sort of images aren't about colour, they are about bringing out detail. I think this one is quite successful.
