With a 90 mm lens, you should be able to get 15-20 seconds without star trailing. Give that a try, and report back to us !

I quite like the tree in the foreground, lots of detail for just a single 5 second exposure. You should try stacking the 10 shots you have, you'll be amazed at the difference it makes.

I think 5 seconds is about the limit at 90mm Jim.
