The ISO is about right, how about a tighter aperture, like f11 or 16, or maybe higher? Would make the sky darker, making more points of light more prominent, there are lots of stars there but a darker sky might accentuate them. Not tried a 14 minute long exposure on the sky before, usually 30 seconds and concentrating on the milky way, but now i have a remote release im looking to do some longer exposures if we clear nights here soon, id be tempted to use a small aperture it really does make the sky stay dark.
This is a neat image though, i actually like the light in the sky, and those colours close to the horizon, adds a bit more interest and mystique to it, nice work
