At the long end of the range of 55mm you will definitely get trailing with 30 seconds.

I don't seem to have any examples on the hard drive atm and I can't get my scanner to work on this computer. I'll try and get the scanner going on another PC otherwise I'll shoot some pics tonight to show the effects. By then you may have clear skies perhaps.

Edit, this is a non trailed example of Scorpius the night before last. 15 second exposure at ISO 800 on a tripod with a Fuji Finepix 5600 set to wide.
