Wow those are spectacular with the EM10! I think you might have captured stars down to mag 13-14 in there (especially the double cluster.)

Yes, at longer exposures, those fainter stars really pop out. Stacking would allow to bring more of them out of the depths of space

I had a question- was that the actual color of the stars, some of them look very magenta-purplish.

See my reply to yyr in another thread here

One of the settings I was looking at was something which makes the WB cast "warm" at higher ISO, should I leave it at that or set it to "Normal" so there is no warm WB cast at higher ISO. I was a bit confused as to what this setting actually does, but maybe it will make star colors come out better?

It does not matter when dealing with RAW files.
