The D850 is a beast at astro, and gives you a lot of leeway in exposure settings. Stars are beginning to streak, so drop exposure time and raise ISO. Assuming you were on a tripod, did the lens have VR? If yes, turn in off as the vibration resistance algorithm will attempt to correct for shake that isn't there.
For the last image, use the tint slider to shift the color to something like 3400k, which will take away that red tint, which does not look natural.
There is a lot of noise in the image which is easily corrected in post processing.
Overall, for first attempts at a difficult subject, you did great.

Great feedback. That’s what I need. Thank you. It was a fun shoot. It’s hard to find dark sky anywhere in SoCal, but I’ve got another idea of where to give it another try. Stay tuned.
