Astrotracer shows trails, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks guys. I honestly don't know why my camera is moving. I tried again tonight and still no luck. I get two of each star. It is not my tripod (very sturdy and no wind) and I am using a remote. The only other reason I can think of as to why my camera is moving is because some weird setting is on that is not supposed to be. I have all NR and SR functions off, but when I want to focus on something via live mode, the picture on the live mode shakes, even when on the tripod (the tripod isn't moving). Also, my camera makes a clicking sound when it is taking long exposure shots, I don't know if this is normal. Here is my best attempt so far (I have not been able to recreate it).

Can anyone help me? Trying to figure out why my star picks are blurry. I don't have SR or NR on, my lens in 24mm, I have no idea if I actually am focusing to infinity or not, not really sure how to do that. I want to have sharp images in the foreground, but I don't know if that is possible without stacking. my ISO was 1600 and f/2.4. M exposure, I don't know why I get startrails (sort of, they just look like blurry stars) every time because I am not holding shutter open for very long. help please.

Thanks for replying adam! How do you recommend that I get my focus "on". I don't quite understand how to set my focus to "infinity" or if my lens even has that option. Its definitely possible that my tripod is not sturdy enough. Is it possible that I need to turn another setting off in the camera so maybe it doesn't shake? I don't know if something besides NR and SR needs to be turned off. These look bad, but I just started doing this so they look better than they did in the beginning! Thanks again!

Hey guys,

So I have been trying to do simple astrophotography and I cannot get clear pics. Every picture I get is blurry, not super blurry, but blurry. I have a tripod and remote control and its still not working and I just don't know what Im doing wrong! I don't have SR or NR on in any of my photos. They were all taken on a 24 mm lens, for about 8 seconds a piece. f2.4. PLEASE HELP!!!!
