You have to clean the aperture blades from both sides.
But before tearing into the lens, try this.
Using a toothpick, put just a drop of lighter fluid on the auto pin at the rear of the lens. Let it soak down into the hole. Now work the pin a lot. Maybe do the routine a second time. I've seen where it was the pin and assembly that was binding.

Using Registax or Deep Sky Stacker, you can stack hundreds of 30 second subs to get a better photo.
Star trails>
You can set up the camera and tripod, then set the exposure for 30 seconds. Now set the shutter for continuous shots. A locking remote is excellent to keep from bumping the camera. The camera will now take let's say 100 shots. These are then stacked to give a complete star trail. Far less noise, and you don't have to be there.

Britain had successly tested a method of releasing oil under water off the coast and setting it on fire. They had tested it several times prior to the battle of Britain.
It was to prevent landing barges from reaching the coast.
A info source. Guns, oil, and poison.

Now I build scopes to hang my cameras from.

I normally try to leave the photo as shot. But I guess this one looks OK.
