** To photograph star trails, cable remote control is a great tool for your camera. You can get them very cheap when buying online. And knock off versions for a fraction of the price works very well for years. Consult your manual, google your camera type together with "cable release" or contact us for support. Each type of camera has specific connector, so you have to buy for your camera. Here's an example for some Canon cameras. In case you will not have cable release, we will "hack" the camera and will find a working solution...
