When doing star trails is there a preferred time to use, I started with 5 min and it seems alright, not sure if longer is better or not ?
Longer will be better 'coz you'll get longer trails, but you'll also get more light pollution unless you stop the lens down some. Processing will reduce this some though so give it a go

Hope you don't mind, have attached a levels adjusted version of your shot.
Also adjusted hue/saturation slightly to bring out some more colour.
Don't look at it as what you should do, but what can be done..... I'm no guru!
