3 out of many shots

[Yamez]

Tonight for the first time i thought i would bring my old camera, very old camera out to get some photos. This is the first time i have ever tried to capture the stars and  i am pleased with the results. I processed the 3 best shots i took in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, there nothing special, advice would be great:

Cassiopeia with mercury street lamp seeking in:

 

The Plow and the top of the tree in my garden:

 

and finally part of lyra (I think...when processing i forgot where the photo was in the sky but i believe the bright star at the top middle is Vega):

 

I took a lot of other shots some of which are completely rubbish. The camera i used was a Fuji finepix s5600. These three shots were taken in a 15 second long exposure which i believe is too much as you can see star trails but the camera only goes up to ISO 1600.

Thats Lyra in the middle, the star immediately left of Vega is the 'Double Double;, Epsilon Lyrae
