Is that from your home? I think you could probobly drop the ISO a little bit to 1200 it would make the image less noisy, also what lens do you have? Depending you. Might be able to increase the exposure a little bit.

yes,from my bqlcony...18-55lens... when you zoom pictures you can allready see lines (not dot stars).. so i am afraid to try longer exposures...i WILL try it ofcourse;)

That must be a a lovely dark sky there's lots captured I like the first image particularly.

You could try the lens at 18mm at the widest setting. I would then stop the lens down a bit to say f4 or f5. In theory at 18mm you might get 25 seconds before star trails though some parts of the sky are for forgiving. If you keep the camera pointing say no more than 60 degrees and facing East or West will be more forgiving then North or South or high up I think.

Take several images and stack them in DSS and you might pull out even more.
