Hi Firehawk, I'm no expert but I would crop both sides and the bottom about half of the black leaving a frame for the sky, Happy New Year, and welcome to UHH, Tom

As a newbie, you only learn by shooting and asking questions. Two other suggestions; shoot that kind of of subject as a vertical instead of a horizontal and crop your subject as much as you can in the viewfinder for the image you want. And remember, all photographers, including pros, have made all the same mistakes you are going to make. Just learn from them (both the pros and your mistakes).

It is also badly out of focus.
Your camera doesn't do well focusing in dim light so use manual focus.
On the other hand if the blur is from camera movement during a long exposure then use a tripod and remote release or shutter delay timer.

Newbie here too. May I suggest using a tripod, slowing the speed and use a remote shutter. Manual focus abourt 20 feet away-somebody more experienced can help here, and close down to f22. Play with "shadow" in PP and yes crop the unrecognizable.

About that....
Click on the 'home' link (top right, just under Ugly)
Then click on 'All sections' (Last selection in the spreadsheet like menu)
Once the list of ALL sections is open you might want to select one of the following two to post your captures:
C&C and 'for your consideration'. I would suggest the later one as it is more honest when it comes to give you a feedback.
By the way, when the forum option list is open you likely will find stuff of interest to you. If so, click on 'subscribe' (right to the forum listing). The next time to click on 'home' these will be listed and not hidden...

Photography is actually the art of capturing light. Too much dark without a point of interest isn't going to give you too many wall hangers. Doing pictures in the dark will also require a tripod or use of sand bags. If you don't have a mechanical release, then learn to use the timer on the camera. You used the term quick crop. Wall hangers are seldom done quick. But the best advice I can give you is keep trying and keep watching what others on UHH do and keep asking questions. Leon

Great suggestions and feedback given!
I like your cropped image better. With better focus or tripod to reduce blur, an appealing study of night sky colors with tree silhouette.
Perhaps consider an area with fewer trees? Often less is more in composition, though I rarely heed my own advice when it comes to landscapes :)
Lots of online articles, videos, books and other resources to help you with your journey, both technically and artistically. Have fun and see you again soon!

under exposed you should shoot with a longer shutter speed when you do that use a tripod

I agree with what has already been mentioned here. And I would also add this. There are two points of light on the left side of the photo that detract. Assuming they aren't eliminated with cropping the image, they can be eliminated by using a cloning tool in your post processing program. The cloning tool will cover up distracting things that get into a picture and interfere with what might otherwise be a very nice photo. Pretty useful tool.
