When shooting the milky way with a 12mm 2.0 Rokinon, I find shooting raw of course and setting the WB at about 2750. This is not my observation, but taken from more experienced AP people.

BTW, the manual focus Samyang/Rokinon does a very good job with COMA and is a reasonably priced lens.

Wider lens should be better for general astro photography, as stars on the sky have already shown a short trail even at 25secs exposure, on wider lens stars should appear more "Point like".
