Stars begin to disk at speeds below 12 seconds for me. I have read resolution is a factor in determining minimum shutter speed. I recently posted a Milky Way shot using the npr rule which held my shutter speed to 10 seconds. I shot the attached photo with a Canon 5DSr with EF 24/1.4 @ 1.8 @ 8 seconds on a tripod. Lots of light pollution, I know, but note the nearer stars upper right of the Milky Way.
Nice photo! I think the star trails in it might be partly the lens or aperture. I always use at least 15 seconds and have never had star trails from it. I will have to look into it more.

Nice work...love your compositions. 20 second exposure without star trails is no easy feat. 
Thank you! It is super easy. All you need is a tripod. I sometimes go up to 35 seconds with an intervalometer, but it is hard.

The shots make for interesting thought on various compositions...intriguing!

Very nice. Glad you were able to tolerate the horribly cold conditions!
Thanks! LOL

First Milky Way shoot of the season!!
I shot these last week here is Pensacola. I went out to the Naval Air Station (the nearest location with the least light pollution) and spent two hours in the cold trying different exposures, techniques, and subjects.
I used a Nikon D3300, and a Tamron 16-300mm lens.
Shutter Speed: Around 20 seconds for most of them.
Aperture: F/3.5
ISO: About 1600-6400
Focal Length: Around 16-35mm

It is probably either the lens, our your sensor. I am not exactly sure how you would fix it, but I would take it to a local camera shop, they might know what to do.
Sorry if that wasn't very helpful, it is just my experience.
BTW, what year of high school are you in?

The few I looked at were out of focus. Improve that and you have some "wall worthy" shots.
Thanks! I will try. They look out of focus because parts of some photos had a little reflection on them.
