Hi Marcello. A nice start.

Can you give us some of the settings you used? From looking at the pics, I'd deduce:
a) Focus is a little off. Test focus by taking short exposures at ISO1600 (8 secs or so) and then zooming in on the LCD to check for the tight stars. It might need very minor tweaks to focus with several test exposures to get it right.
b) More exposure! There's a lot more to see in the sagittarius/scorpius area, even with 15-20s exposures at ISO800.

Keep at it and keep asking questions.
