Here is a star trail that i did, what do you think...

I think it's a fantastic shot and composition. I think these types of shots turn out much better in Australia because the star field can be used in the background of a horizontal composition, as you've done here

Are you able to re-upload this image in a larger format and with less aliasing? It's hard to tell what's wrong, bad camera or bad compression.

From what I can tell, stars are work well in two ways: no trails, or very long trails. These are medium, not as bad as very short, but not as good as the two examples mentioned in the previous sentence.
