Its always a trade off isn't it?

Quite right - typically for star trails I wouldn't have used ISO3200 - I would've used ISO200 or 400, and used longer exposures than just 30 seconds like I did for image#4.
But because I wanted to make a timelapse movie, I needed each frame to be bright enough on its own and not show too much trailing on its own, so I stuck to 30 seconds and needed the ISO3200 sensitivity to show the milky way etc in each frame.

Did you do any colour balance adjustment at all or mainly curves
and levels? Nebulosity has a nice auto background adjustment that seems
to do a great job in my recent rough star trail attempts.

I boosted the colours using vibrancy/saturation, and then just raised the black point. That's pretty much it in terms of processing. Very light on.
I'll have to give nebulosity a try.
Cheers and thanks again guys.
