How long were your exposures?

20 seconds each. The maximum length of star exposures is usually governed by the "rule of 500" so you don't get oblong stars or star trails in each frame. Divide 500 by the focal length of your lens (and use full-frame equivalent for APS-C cameras). That'll give you a good exposure time in seconds.
