Death Valley Night Sky Time Lapse

I shot this time lapse two nights ago while camping in Cottonwood Canyon in Death Valley. It is my first time lapse. The lens got a bit fogged up, but it still worked fairly well. Next time I will shoot more than one shot every 5 minutes. I think 1 minute intervals would be better.

Thats real good, could you tell me the full settings to do the night shot, as i have tried and it seems to be more blue, than the nice shots you got which is what im trying to do? Thanks.

@kall67 If yours is very blue, it's likely the location you are shooting at has more light pollution than this shot from Death Valley.
