"The large-scale homogeneity of the universe makes it very difficult to believe that the structure of the universe is determined by anything so peripheral as some complicated molecular structure on a minor planet orbiting a very average star in the outer suburbs of a fairly typical galaxy."

I think they are blue because the exposure took one hour and twenty minutes in total. The scope was going slowly out of focus due to temperature shift. Since blue was the last exposure, the blue image had the more bloated stars. When I combined this resulted in a blue halo/cast around every star.
