Good start with the E200. Captured a lot of detail for just 10 minutes, considering that large "street light" in the photo.
I recently spend a goodly amount of time drift aligning my Eq6 mount. Once is was dead on I enabled PEC. The guide star stayed dead on the cross hairs for 20 minutes with my 500 mm scope plus 2x barlow.
I myself prefer the colour from E200. Keep at it.

This was done the same night, with a different camera loaded with Fuji Provia 400X, through a 135 lens @ f/2.8 for the same time (or was it a 200mm @f/4?).
I knew the alignment was off, and it is really evident with the longer lens.
I think I also caught a bolide.

That looks like an Iridium flare. Interesting catch.

Looks like the lens was wide open with the aberrated stars. This is a very bright region and can handle stopping down to f/4 or even 5.6 with a twenty to forty minutes exposure.
I have shot more frames of this area than any other in the sky. It is just so interesting and beautiful.
The bolide trail looks interesting. It looks tenuous, but that may be the optics? Good shot.

I found my notes, it was the 200mm lens, wide open at f/4.
I knew it wouldn't be a good shot from the alignment errors, I just wanted to see what the diference in tracking between a wide angle and a telephoto would show.
Cropped in, you can see the trails, and one I tried to fix in photoshop.

I actually prefer the original, and I was wrong about the exposure on the first shot. I remember they were both shot at 10 minutes, and at the same f/ratio, so it was at f/4, not 2.8, but the dew was heavy that night.
This is the first shot, unprocessed:
