very first star trail attempt

This is my very first star trail attempt. I know there's nothing interesting in the foreground, but I wanted to see how to make star trails with nothing else to contend with initially. For those more experienced with this, please let me know if there are things I should be doing differently or if I'm off on the right foot. I like the results, but if I can improve, that'd be great! 14mm (28mm in 35mm-format), f3.5, 30 seconds, ISO 800, 120 stacked images using StarStaX. I took this with a full moon, and didn't center at any one location in the sky, so it really was a "fly by the seat of your pants" first attempt.
