I like the first one best.
Have you tried any Milky Way shots? Today and tomorrow should be good nights for it if you know where to point your camera. Get a phone app like Photopills to tell you the time direction (Azimuth) and height (Elevation) for best shot at your location. Depending on how much 'dark sky' you have you may not be able see it with the naked eye. Use the compass and a level app to set the camera up on your tripod and shoot.

Very nice. Astro photography is on my list of ambitions whenever we get clear nights. Smoke being the current problem.

You have solved the stars moving and causing streaks in the image. Now it's time to try the milky way. You don't need to go the desert for a reasonably dark spot, there may be places close that could work to help hone your skills. Good milky way shots are one part good exposure (you seem to have that) and 3 parts processing.
