Hi Lt, nice image, what it really needs is to be taken at a darker location.
15mins on E200 slide is considered a long exposure 30 mins on this film and it tends to saturate the image, this film is very light sensitive particually with any reds as you can see in your shot.
I think you will get similar results with any film in light polluted sky, I think that maybe 5mins would be a maximum exposure time and then you have the problem of not getting enough light onto the film to see the object, so the simple answer is go out into the country and get some darker sky.
E200 can be pushed two stops in processing, it is a great astro film it picks up red very easy and is good on blues but it fails somewhat on green's and yellow's.

cheers
David.
