Floyd, what were your settings?
How long of exposures, how many?

Last shot from that night, 3rd attempt M10

Not bad at all, my friend... even though your FOCUS seems a bit too soft.. not quite ON THE SPOT. (but don't despair... you'll get it soon enough!)
FOCUSING is probably the most critical & frustrating part of the hobby... practice makes perfection, so keep at it! 8)

Thanks for sharing, and don't stop trying!

Getting better and better, grasshopper! 8)
One thing I would recommend is, comparing your shot to some other images of the same object, and try to see if you can get the colors to match... it is a good exercise...

Clear skies, and keep'em coming!
