VERY nice! So glad you didn't go for that fake blue night sky! Excellent job!
First off, I agree it's a gorgeous shot. Great job, Gale.
I do wonder why there is such widespread hatred for the blueish sky that so many milky way shots have, when the yellow glow in this shot (that results from pushing the WB away from blue toward yellow) isn't what you see with the naked eye, either?

Because the blue color is fake. The only time the night sky is blue, is if there is a bright moon (and of course the MW is very faint if visible at all.)
The light pollution is visible because the sensor is more sensitive than our eyes. The yellowish color is not an added fake prop.

I don't think many people "add" blue to the sky intentionally for a prop. For me at least, it's a balance of making the sky black and minimizing the yellow glow of light pollution.
well...i'm not really interested in all that technical information. I like the image in the OP and I like some subtle blue MW images as well.
I was more curious as to what you call "fake" blue. If you're referring to the example in the link you provided, then yeah, that much blue in the night sky is too much for me too.
