Each were taken with an exposure time of approx 10 minutes.

There was no moon out. Good night for long exposures.

Very interesting because of the star movements, particularly this one

Very interesting star blur. I agree with Gubbsie, these are more like the first exploratory shots of a project, getting a feel for what's possible, rather than the finished product. Take more!
