1st Star Trail Shot

Went away for the weekend and unable to take my scope/mount in my carry on luggage, so tried my first star trail shot.

I really like this image but the Black sections are so over-bearing . Is this shadows produced from mountain tops to the outside left of the framing ?? I'm amazed at how much difference the colors in the trees look from daylight to dark !

Thanks Ron! I had fun shooting this, though didn't think the light from behind was going to be so distracting. This is the last mountain in the Great Dividing Range, the shadows were cast by other buildings, and the light broke through from the main house down the street to the annoying black and white arrow sign. I could try to lift the blacks and dull down the lights but prefer not to photoshop too much unless really worth it. Will play with it and post the results to see what you think.
