Good sir, how do you achieve that color for dust in post processing?

That’s the normal colour of it.

#

Just did a manual colour calibration. Background as the background and white as the whitest stars I could find. Turns out star clusters work well. I sometimes prefer manual CC to photometric because you can slightly adjust it as you go.

#

Selective saturation too. And very strong masked colour denoise.

#

Lots of normal saturation will show funky gradients and splotches often.
