With ISO 400 film using a 50 mm Minolta lens at f1.8 I got deeper saturation of color at 5 minutes, but not enough red around some of the nebulas.  You are going about 3 f-stops higher than mine, so you should probably have gone at least 20 minutes per shot for better color saturation.  So, if possible use a wider open f-stop or expose longer.
 
However, if light pollution is a problem, which it looks like it may be from your 28mm shot, then longer exposures will wipe out anything.
 
Now I know where I can post my images since I do not have a website yet.  Check this one for a shot with Sagitarius and north in it.
