They help in this case because the clouds give a sense of time. However, in most other cases star trails are not what you want to get, so you can't simply say "stop down" as a general suggestions - as it's wrong 90% of the time.

I'm sure that you really meant to add "in my humble opinion" , however, I'm sure it was an oversight on your behalf.

Yes and no. Many photos that include star trails include them because the photographer didn't know how to avoid them, and many of them would be better without them (however you are right, that's probably just my humble opinion).

You know, you can argue years about somebody's preferences, but you won't come to any conclusion.

that's why I never start an argument about photography.

That is truly an amazing image.

Well, that was kinda unintenionally. Sorry if somebody felt attacked by me.
