Yeah, first off read the sticky and resize your shit.
Secondly if you're only going to post two pictures then don't create your own thread, post in the Recent Photo Thread next time.
As for the actual photos, it seems like you got the trails down but you really need to work on composition/subject choice. A good Astrophotograph needs a balance of interesting sky and an interesting subject. Both of these are boring as shit in terms of subject.
I don't like the first shot at all. Underexposed foreground and extremely distracting lens flair, no clear subject, it's just an overall snapshit desu.
Your second shot is a lot better, nicely exposed foreground, however no subject and a boring composition. Try going back to this location, but this time find a nice interesting subject (there are heaps of dead trees/drift wood that I can see). Once you find your tree or whatever, get up nice and close to it and make it your main focus of the image, with the star trails as the background. You could try angling straight out to sea, so there's no distracting features in the comp such as those city lights.
Post more shots please
I apologize for my posting wrong, I have read the sticky now.
Thanks for the tips, will try it out
