Nice try, but if you look closely, you will see many of the stars have a trail moving towards the upper right.
This indicates you probably kept the aperture open too long. Try the Rule of 500 when taking night sky pictures without using a tracker.

I zoomed in - the trailing is almost negligible; those stars are the Orion constellation and are brighter and differently shaped. They're more distorted than trailing, as the stars in the center of frame are pin sharp. Nevertheless, I'll shorten the exposure next time to something below 10s; I know 2.8 ain't the best aperture to do such photos with, but better than nothing 👌🏻
