Hey Boris,
With your edit, I think the sky is looking closer to feeling like a dark sky, good work there. I am guessing that the initial exposure was pretty bright? How is the histogram on it? Anyway, the ground layer is going to be harder to get to look like a night shot after the fact. Just darkening the shot with Levels will end up giving it more of a muddy feel. This is one where you would need to double process the Raw shot I think. One for the ground layer where it's quite underexposed to look more like night. Then one of the stars that isn't quite as underexposed, and then use a layer mask to blend those 2 images (of the same shot) into one.
Maybe it's not worth the effort or maybe you like it as it is. It's your shot so you can like it however you want. But for me, I would still work on it a bit, as it's cool seeing the stars over the Dunes, I still think that it should then feel like a night shot.
Jim
