Clear skies, pitch dark, only light was from my 90 lumens headlamp atop Lassen Volcano at LVNP. Used a Canon 6d, 16-35mm f/2.8 II USM lens at 30 secs, f/2.8 ISO ranged from 1600 to 6400 but I think my best shots were at 4000. What do you all think?

Your top pic is the best. I particularly like the forground which gives good dimension to the celestial part.

Wow! And August is the time of the persied showers! Here we are not having weather conducive to photos!

Very nice...and the second seems to show two meteors in one shot! At least I suspect they are meteors and not satellites or airplanes because they seem to come from a radiant in the right direction for Perseids.
What do you think?

All beautiful...#3 grabs me for some reason with the lighting on the trees. Well done. ;-)

I vote for number two, all are nice images but the second one has more to say to me. Thanks for posting

Better than anything I have come up with. Thanks for posting the settings! I might just have to try again!

Excellent shots, thanks for posting. Number 1 is the one for me, but #3 is a close 2nd. How did you handle the noise problem? What program did you use to do your PP?
